Swift springs, Enkei RPF1, Indy 500 and International Harvester :)

I posted this within a different thread but in case others could benefit/be inspired:

Here you go and the best color match I have found is...

INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER TRACTOR AND FARM IMPLEMENT, factory paint. It looks vibrant in the bright sun but darkens appropriately in the lower light/shade to match the dark red of the emblems nicely.
Definitely can feel the offset and REALLY FEEL THE 11+ POUND PER WHEEL WEIGHT REDUCTION, over half a pound just in lug nuts. The tires have EXCELLENT GRIP compared to the soft stock Contis.
New Wheels and New Tires , mounted w/taxes for under $1600.00 with little to no compromises!

Enkei RPF1 18x8.5, 40 offset
Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, 255/35/18
Swift Spec R

You don't like PBR? It's the least offensive of the horse piss American beers

@Learn2turn Where to find those open-end lug nuts?

RPF1s work well with most cars.

Man I think they look great. And I think I’m
Going to get another set. For the price you can beat em. Like you said 1600$ to your door , ready to install. I had a set on my 2017 & thought they where awesome. So much lighter than factory wheels. I believe I even weight mine.

Discount tire sells them for $35 and they come in a set of 32 because that size lug is usually on trucks with 8 lugs per wheel.

Hello, I have a set of Konig 18x9.5 35 offset with Yokohama a052 255 40/18 tires, both front and rear end rubs, really interested in switching to rpf1, could you confirm your setup does't rub? I noticed those high performance tires are generally wider compared with normal tires with same specs

Love these wheels, but do they come with straight spokes on our cars?

They shockingly do not have a proper 5x120 9” or 9.5” width option yet.

Probably has to do with Civic BMW lug patterns.

I use them on my S2000 but not sure they suit the FK8 as much

Sorry, I did not see this until now.
NO RUB at all but I am switching to 265/35/18 RE71R tires soon, though I expect no rub with those either.

it’s also that persons wheel choice. A +35 is going to have issues where a +45 is not. Running a 18x9.5” +45 with a 275/35/18 RS-RR and no rubbing. I have added some negative camber and lowered but moral of the story don’t go +35 with a 9.5” width wheel
