Holy smokes, they look fantastic! My gunmetal Raijins are coming on Wednesday . . . . hopefully they would look as good as RPF1's.

Thanks man !! I’m sure your wheels will look great

Here’s a few install pictures. I still can’t drive the car yet. I also weighted the oem wheels & the rpf1’s. They have about a 10 pound weight savings on each corner. They fit great , they are very light. I’m in love , it’s a very clean & simple setup , that just works. Topped them off with some OEM Honda center caps

You plan on lowering?

Not at the moment , the suspension still needs to settle some. But maybe down the road. I just needed something other than the 20’s , the tires are so small. One pot hole & they are done.

I wonder if it would run with a drop

I seriously doubt it , there’s plenty of room

I had some time to go drive the car. Holy crap guys , the car feels so nibble & light with these wheels. It’s hard to explain, but you can definitely tell the car has dropped a few pounds in the gas pedal. I also notice the car accelerated much faster. I first went & drive it stock. Then I uploaded the stage 2 hondata map & went back out for another spin. And DAMN .. it was literally like night & day. 3rd gear pulls so F’ing hard & 4th & 5th lol.. The Michelin ps4’s grip so good. I took a hard interstate loop & the car was glued to the road. There’s no way I could have pushed the car passed its limits, it just wanted all I could throw at it.. overall I’m very very happy & pleased with everything. If you have any questions or want any different pictures , just let me know. Cheers

Finally! Ha. Been waiting for your review. Glad you drove it without the flash to gauge just the wheel weight decrease. Sounds awesome. Grip sounds perfect and of course the flash is icing on the cake.

Yea I had to drive it one last time stock , just to feel out the wheels. And you can definitely tell the car seems way more nibble. The grip is insane

No torque steer or numbness in turn in? That seems to always be the general consensus: Numbness in turn in.

Zero torque steer & zero numbness.. it felt better than the oem wheels & tires. The Michelin ps4s’s are awesome tires. Inn 3rd gear you better hang on , but it goes dead straight , even with the Hondata map

Excellent news! I think I may still hang out a season on the stock rims hoping to find some deeper offset 18s by 2019. I'd love to see us get closer to the original spec with the lightness and affordability of the RPF1s! Amazing wheels. Thank you again for your report on these.

I disagree . I put ps4s with 18 o.z et45 at the front only . It does have noticeable yank on uneven road. More body roll, less direct steering . Im back to stock for now .

Hmmm I didn’t notice any of that. My car has a very direct feel. Tons of grip & no yank at all. And the reason I changed wheels was because our roads are so bad around here. Then again stage 2 93 octane tune from hondata had me smiling

There are plenty of others reporting this even with the more expensive rims (volks) etc... Why I hope to see some of the tuners step in and do some rigorous testing with rims to determine actual data then just butt dynos.
