Enkei RPF1

Where can I get these hub rings?? Just ordered a set for my car.

Where did you order from. A lot of the more wheel focused shops like TireRack, Fitment Industries, etc. tend to include them already once they find out what your car is. Some even go out to look at what wheel you ordered to double check that they would fit on stock fitment.

Unknowingly after ordering I see that tirerack includes them. Thank you for the reply. I can't wait to have these on my CW 21 TypeR

Tire rack gives you free plastic ones. Honestly though, you don’t need hub rings.

I recently plastidipped my RPF1s and applied Tapeworks' fire gloss red rim stripes. I hope the rim stripes stick to plastidip. Center caps are from Flatout Graphics. Below are pictures taken at various stages.

In case everyone here does not already know...
on RPF1, the OEM center caps fit fine and stay put.

Just snagged these off of tirerack. Very much looking forward to them. Their my first ever set of aftermarket wheels for any car I've owned.

Nice move picking a legendary Japanese tuning wheel for your first set!
They are an INCREDIBLE value!

Thanks! ?

Getting these powdercoated Enkei Gold that other RPF1 sizes come in as soon as they get delivered.

Now to choose on a tire size, gotta order today because the powdercoating place is going to mount/balance them too.

Should I go with 40's or 35's?? I will be getting Spoon Sports springs VERY soon.

They look GREAT with a little spray paint!
IMO no need to powder coat if you'd like to save the money.

I run 255/35/18 and 265/35/18.
I think the 40 aspect ratio looks like TOO much tire and less sidewall is stiffer, which is better for performance.

Wow!!
Those looks great in that color! Luckily I know some powdercoating shop owners who are looking out for me in the price department.

I was able to get a good deal on some 40's from a friend of mine. Brand new Falken's. I will definitely get 35's next time. The more and more pics of the 2 sizes compared the more I leaned towards the 35's. These Rpf1's will eventually be my winter rims. Next spring I will hopefully be able to grab some SW388's from Spoon (my dream wheels ?).

I also, unfortunately, live in Northern NJ and the roads here are HORRIBLE! One of the main reasons I dropped down to 18's. Which is a shame tbh because I love the oem's but I've had to get my car aligned twice already in just the 2 months of me having the car. Trust me when I say im a VERY cautious driver when it comes to potholes.

Damn! Those roads must be SHITTY to knock you out of alignment!

Can I ask how much the powdercoat will be? I could not find it for less than $600 here in NM.
