View Full Version : Vote for new Enkei RPF1 color!!


Gruppe-S
11-15-2007, 11:46 PM
We are thinking about getting a VERY limited run of special color Enkei RPF1's. We have narrowed it down to either Gloss Black, or Gloss Bronze. The picture of the black is an actual prototype, and the bronze picture is actually a Photoshop edit. The actual bronze color will be more of the other sample bronze wheel shown. The chosen color will only be available in 18x9.5 +15, and 18x10.5 +15. I know these are "aggressive" fitments, but we want to be able to accomodate widebody S-chassis and 350Z owners as well.

We are also open to any other suggestions for wheel colors and/or sizing, so now is the time to say it!!!

I'm just a bigger fan of the bronze. The black is nice, but it's not for me. I'd love a set of those bronze enkeis in 17x9 +22.

cdlong
11-17-2007, 03:20 AM
if there were 17x9.5 +18 5 lug avaliable, i'd be all over the bronze because black would look stupid on my car. bronze, however is the only color that would look good aside from silver.

It looks like we will be going with a set of Black 18" wheels. The guys over on the 350z forums liked the Black also. So it is very likely that we will get a small run of Black 18" wheels made, most likely limited to 10 sets!!! We will keep you guys posted on prices and availability!!

Thanks

You could pay extra and take a chance on someone else to powdercoat it, or you could pay slightly more (about $15-$40 per wheel) to have Enkei professionally color the wheel and keep the logos intact.

HOWEVER, i have something even better coming for you guys in a few months.

Good job on ordering the blacks in a kickass size, BUT.

Dude Eddie,

WTF are you talking about. I never indicated this was a SILVIA FITMENT.

You and your BIG ASS BOLD FONT. Don't undermine my intelligence nor the communities'.

I was merely trying to ASSIST YOU by displaying what the

OFFICIAL WHEEL WILL LOOK LIKE.

I DON'T EVEN HAVE THIS SHIT ON ORDER.

DO YOU WANT TO ARGUE WITH ME THAT THE 17X9 +22 OR 17X9.5 +18 WILL LOOK ANY DIFFERENT FROM ITS FACE. SO FOR ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES IT SERVES AS A GOOD EXAMPLE TO HELP YOU SELL SOME LOW OFFSET STUFF.

MY NAME IS RISHIE BTW..... Read slower and you won't make diplomatic mistakes.

It depends on the color of your car. I plan on getting a white car next and throwing on some gold or bronze wheels. But, right now I have a silver car with some dark grey/blackish wheels. A dark colored car would look best with some gold wheels also, but better with some silver or hyper silver color.

lol! we know business doesnt ever "never" have any feelings... but all to often we find ourselves having feelings over business... just sell a great product with great prices and offer some service and that alone will go a long way...

17x9 +45 sounds pretty good for Subaru fitment. Do they make 5x100 or are they 5x114.3? 17x9 5x114.3 +45 would be pretty good for 2005+ sti. 5x100 for other subies.
