are they hubcentric for suby?

No, but they come with rings.Of coarse, the quality of the wheel and 180 degree perfect design make it so they work perfectly even without the rings.

What does that mean, what are you talking about? Please fill me in, sorry for being a noob.

are those prices shipped???

Nino,

Thanks for posting the weights; that's often hard stuff to find. :)

All plus shipping (which is 30-50 bucks)

DrBiggly : No problem :)

Do you have (or can you make) any wheel/tire packages? Do you mount tires?

Does Enkei make 18" for RPF-1 in Gold?

Thanks

Hubcentric means that the wheel doesn't require an 'insert' ring to make the wheel fit closely over the hub. It's like this: the inner diameter of the middle of the wheel contains a hole in it to let the nose of the hub 'register' into the back side of the wheel.

I may not be providing a very good mental image there b/c I'm struggling to find the correct terminology for ya, but the basic gist is that a hub-ring is a ring that 'fills in the gap' from the wheel to the hub w/respect to the middle of the wheel-hub (the part that contains the bearings... it's what's left on the car when you pull the rotor off).

Anyway, the ring does -not- space the wheel in or out w/respect to the backspacing... it's strictly for fittment of the wheel to the hub.

The purpose of the ring is to keep the wheel from moving around under rotational forces w/respect to being centered over the hub.

Think about this: if you take your finger and spin a frisbee around by the lip, like a plate, this is a very exaggerated example of what would happen to your wheel if it was not hubcentric, and the stud-holes were overly large, and the wheel lacked a ring =AND= it decided to move around (became loose for some reason). Your finger is the hub in this example. If you imagine then that the back of the frisbee had no lip and only a hole, just big enough for your finger, right in the center of the frisbee, you could only spin it in such a way that it wouldn't 'wobble' (presuming the frisbee was sufficiently round).

Normally, properly torquing the lugs keeps the wheel fixed, but accidents happen.. or if you threw a wheel weight, the out-of-balance condition can cause lots of trouble.

Bottom line: get the hub-rings and use 'em if the wheel requires them.

I -believe- the vendor is saying that b/c the wheel is made w/tight tolerances on the lug-holes that the wheel would probably not move around even w/out the ring... but I will defer to them to actually clarify that if they want :)

In addition, the wheels are made with such good balance from the start, they often need less or no weights at all to balance properly (also depending on the tire), thus creating a situation that is not conducive to vibration even when not using hubcentric rings. I have RPF-1's and when i initially had my tires mounted and balanaced (with S03's), 2 wheels required no weights. They are truly nice wheels. I can't wait until those new RP03's come out!

I want some RPF-1s in gunmetal! :( Doodie.

Those RP03's are the new 5-spokes, right!?.. Yep!..those are very nice looking!... I saw a post w/'em once, now it's gone?... very high drool-factor! :)

-James

do you have the NT03+M in a 17x7.5 or 17x8 gold??

and will the 17x8 fir the 2004 STi? since I've heard that the 2005's will have "wider rear wheel arches to accomodate a 17x8 wheel" ??

thanks.

The 17x8 is the only size available in gold.They do fit the STI

Hi Nino, what offset is the one from the RPF1 in 17x7,5 who fit the Brenbos equiped STis? What colors are available for this size? Have you measured the weights yourself?

Thanks in advice!

Only the 17x8 would fit over the STi brembos. They have a 45 offset

Can you get the ZR-1 in 18x8? if so how much with/without tires

The Enkei just releases the 18" RPF-1 in gold

Ahhh so my little plan worked, the things I do to sway you away from the truth. You just wait and see what really happen... these our the days of our lives.

Rick
p.s. Bumpity for Nino :banana:.

I know that the ZR-1 is in 18x8 cuz my friend just picked up a set. They are 18x8 +44 offset. Just wondering what you could get them for if you could get a set.

Hey Nino I ordered a set of Enkei RPF-1's in 17 x 8 from you and its been 3 weeks and I still don't have them. When I ordered them you said it should only take a week to get them in. Can you track them down for me? The name on the order should be Stephen Wilburn.

Thanks,

Wow.... I hope that isn't the general turn around time. Nevertheless a bump for Nino and hopefully an answer for Steve.

Rick

ThatSteveGuy : Ill get you a tracking # today. Strange that you haven't recieved them yet...

Nino did you get my PM yesterday?

Rick

-ThatSteveGuy

Any news? I still don't have the wheels or a tracking number...

-ThatSteveGuy

BTW, 17x7 +48 Enkei RPM-2's will fit over Stoptechs?

I've tried them and they didn't seem to fit to me *shrug* I'm planning on upgrading to the 18x7.5 +50s once I get a BBK for that very reason.

Nothin' against ya Nino (who is an awesome seller BTW), just a little caveat. If I'm wrong lemme know because I'd really like to know if my wheels really will fit over Stoptechs :)

(oh yeah, and they are KILLER wheels which is why I want to get the same thing but bigger... there's no way I'm sacrificing that killer style for a BBK)

Just a quick pict of what they look like on my car:

You are correct Vostok, The 17's dont clear,I added the RPM2 to the post after it was all written up

I now have an invoice showing that I purchased the wheels but still no wheels or tracking number:confused:

-ThatSteveGuy

Bump for the good guy, and possibly an answer for Steve.....

Rick

p.s. Nino, please look in your GB thread on the Enkei's... :)

Any response would be nice:furious:

-ThatSteveGuy

I always loved the WRC Tarmac Evo... too bad it's JDM only:

Does this come to the US (RC5)?

I'm not ignoring Steve, Im just trying to figure out why the tracking number doesn't say anything when I check it.:(

Do you guys carry Rotas? Their polished faces are over the top!

Looking for a full-royal steel-grey SDR in 17x7.5

Well maybe you should ship me another set then and take up the problem of the last shipment with the shipping company. I have already paid and I think I have been more than accomadating.

-ThatSteveGuy

Already did that. :) You should see them today or tomm hopefully.

Let me know if anything "extra" shows up though please.

Excellent:banana:

I will be sure to let you know if an extra set shows up, but somehow I doubt it. Seems to me one of the shipping companies employees boosted the wheels:furious:

-ThatSteveGuy

Yeah, alot of that has been going on.

I actually had someone open a box and look thru it apparently.

The box was for one item and the item inside was different. Apparently people who work at UPS facilities know what to look for. :mad:

Nino, I just sent you a PM concerning my shipment today. Hopefully you can help...

Rick

Nino, do the RPF1's fit the 05 STI - 5 x 114.3?

Thanks.

The nessesary size and offset is available, i have to check if there are any in the US yet though

Nino, have the centercaps come off backorder yet?

Rick

sent you a PM about some Enkei rims, Nino. :disco:

I'm interested in the Enkei RPF-1 Gold and Silver, would most likely be getting the 17x8. How many sets of these wheels do you have? It will most likely be in two weeks that I could have money.

CLarence

Cantercaps are still backordered, The Gold is getting kinda tough to find, Silver is easy.

nino i need some rs7's plzzz :P

Originally posted by NinosAutoAccesories

My luck with parts isn't good.... can't wait till I get them along with the rest of my order ;).

Rick

Sc3pt0r : OK, give me a ring 732-557-0491

ami2fst4u : Injectors will be here in a few days though. ;)

Thanks Nino, now how about that ECU...... ;) :banana:

Rick

hey nino what color are the zr1.

I'm interested in a set of 18x8(45) RPF-1 in Gold for my '04 STi. Could you please PM me a total price shipped to 21206 and 21014 and how long it would take. Sorry for the 2 zip's, but we're moving and depending on how long it takes to get the rims will determine where I'll be:)
Thanks.
Scott

Daboro's Rex : Hyper black

fledis : 1199.99 shipped.

What's up Nino. I pm'ed you thurs. but I didn't get a response. I was wondering if my other 2 wheels (rpm2's, so-3's) and lugs have been shipped yet. If not, when should I expect them. It's been a while :( . Thanks, Nick

do the rpm2 come in gold?

Unfortunatly they do not, Would look sick if they did.

Nino,
I just sent you a reply PM.... hopefully we can get things worked out.

Rick

Oh yeah, all taken care of. ;)

Any chance of getting the RPF1 in the wider 8.5 and 9-inch widths? Or any other Enkei models that would clear the STi in 17x8.5 and/or 17.9 sizes.

Chris H.

They simply aren't available in our offset, It would be special order to get them and that would take 3-5 weeks

Nino,
Have the Enkei centercaps come in yet, I know you said they were shipping from Enkei early last week?

Rick

RickWhat do you say.... :confused:.

Rick

They were sent to you directly. I wasn't supposed to recieve them. I will call and get the tracking info today

They were sent to you directly. I wasn't supposed to recieve them. I will call and get the tracking info todayNino, thank you for the update, any info you can get would be greatly appreciated. As the wheels don't look complete without them....

Rick

No worries, I'd send you the caps from my set of RPF-1s but they aren't in the greatest shape cause I use them for racing

Nino, thanks for the offer. However I will wait for new ones, that is if they come. As I have already paid for them...

Rick

do the 17x7.5 rpf-1 come in gold or are the golds only the 17x8?

17x8 only are gold

Nino, check your PM's. Still would like that info.

Rick

"All plus shipping (which is 30-50 bucks)"

hmmmm......another day, no call back, no email, no PM. .......kinda what i expected though. im seriously about to post up my whole story if this isnt taken care of soon.

hmmmm......another day, no call back, no email, no PM. .......kinda what i expected though. im seriously about to post up my whole story if this isnt taken care of soon.Same problem here, as I have been waiting (3) months for Enkei Centercaps. Which supposedly shipped out almost a month ago. Yet no tracking or confirmation of anything... :furious:.

Rick

I sent a message to them on Aug 17 and got answer that they are in the middle of moving. Probably that the reason for silence. Not excuse though.

ein86 : Your're going to post a bad review anyway. Dont kid me...If and when I have somethuing meaningful to tell you I will call or PM you. Calling you to tell you nothing is pointless.

heres the story...You ordered wheels, I said you should have them a certain day, They didn't get there, You called, I forgot to call back and you still dont have wheels. There I saved you the trouble.

ami2fst4u : The caps haven't come in yet. Enkei keeps havng issues with shipments right now because of the strikes in Cali.

Problems??? Call me 732-557-0491


This sale is OVER!
