They may be stock but they're damn good rims and much better looking than most of the aftermarket I see on here. Ive owned Volks, Gram lights, Enkei and a few others and my Nismo stockers are right up there with them. Id rather put the money towards the engine.

RPF1 is the lightest in the market.
Volk TE 37 just a bit heavier but expensive.

I think PF01 is supposed to be the updated, maybe slightly lighter replacement for RPF1. They look better anyways. I'm thinking of going with those when the time comes.

I like the Forgestar F14's. You should easily be able to get a set for under 2k (without tires). They're fairly light, but I don't know exact weights.

i am not really a fan of the RPF1 styling. However I do love the RP03 and I had forgotten all about them until you reminded me of Enkei. The only thing is that the widest size they come in is 10 inches.

Would I even be able to notice the smaller width if my tires are just as wide as the stock ones though?

I love the F14's and was gonna buy a set until I realized they are about 25 or 26 pounds

If you can go 1/2" narrower with the sport wheel specs, the Nismo S-tunes are on sale everywhere right now in the 800-1000 range.

babbagandu · 04-02-2012, 10:30 PM

What do you all think of these? I really like them but just realized the black color comes only in 19x10 and 19x8.5.... So if I got them I guess I would have to just get 19x10 all around and just have a staggered tire setup? Idk. I think I would also need some spacers for these as the offset is +22

These are RP03's btw

wow, you really think these Enkie's are a better rim than the factory nismo's?

hell they dont even look that good, granted thats my opinion.

(are you selling the nismo rims by any chance?)

Yeah I think I may have changed my mind. I liked them at first but the more I look at them the more I change my mind lol.

Yeah I am definitely going to sell the stock wheels if/when I get new ones. It will probably be soon because I will need new tires soon anyway. Let me know if you are interested

FWIW: The Nismo wheels are forged and from a top end manufacturer (Rays who also makes Volks) if you want to replace your factory wheels for looks that is fine, but I would not want to downgrade wheels just for the looks. With that said there are several quality wheels that you can get. TSW Nurburings, Forgestar F14's, Used Volks, Weds Sport SA55's, used SSR's, ect. Another option would be to powder coat your factory Nismo wheels to change up the overall look as well.

Bump for input about my previous post. I'm gonna order these today if you all approve!

What was the cost on those when you priced them? Weight for the 10" per? Thanks.
