That is awesome. i love the look of those wheels on your Si. My only concern is that there are no center caps on the wheels. On my previous civic (2016 EX-T) i put wheels on with no center caps. In less than a week there was visible surface rust.Got my track setup on! 17x8 ET45 Enkei RPF1 with 245/40R17 Firestone Indy 500 summer tires. Stellar tires, and at 15.6lbs per wheel I feel like I am driving a go-kart!
I've read on various other forums that 1lbs of unsprung weight equals to 10lbs of sprung weight. This means that I've lost 12.5 pounds per corner (OEM Si wheel is 28.1lbs) or 50lbs all around, which means my car went from driving like a 2906lbs Si sedan to a 2406lbs Si sedan. Am I doing the math right?
Thanks! Almost all of the RPF1's I see don't have center caps, and not sure if the finish is very durable which has prevented rust. I am not disagreeing with your statement, this now prompts me to do more research and see which center caps will fit.That is awesome. i love the look of those wheels on your Si.

Tire Rack sells Enkei center caps for the RPF1's....IMO they are expensive and not all that prettyThanks!

Can anyone verify if the ones on the OEM wheels will fit these Enkei wheels?
Have to ask, why the wider wheels in the rear?Kosei K1-TS Fine Silver.
Front 17x7'' ET35, stock 235/45/17 Michelin Primacy 3, 6,2kg/13,6lbs (wheel only)
Rear 17x9'' ET35, stock 235/45/17 Michelin Primacy 3, 7,4kg/16,3lbs (wheel only)
Notably ligher than the OEM 17s.
Bought a used set, got a great deal and thought I'd give them a go. So no particular reason other than knowing that 17x9'' ET35 won't cause issues.Have to ask, why the wider wheels in the rear?
