Yeah, show me a wheel that can perform like a rpf1 which isn't cast and we'll talk. Wasting your money for weak performance means nothing. Just shows a lack of intelligence.

Wait a minute here...I completely agree that anything from Enkei is great for a cast 1 piece wheel. We cannot use Enkei and Varronston's or any other Malaysian made wheels in the same sentence. Even WORKS 1 peice cast wheels are sourced out and not made by WORK.

My wheel intelligence probably trumps most. I am very familiar with the wheel companies and quality wheels. I don't need a lesson.

The reason I buy multi piece wheels is because the size and offset are more custom and suits my needs. The one piece cast wheels usually have the wrong offsets and sizes. That might suit the masses but guys like me that like to be different, they just don't work.

It amazes me how far off subject this conversation has gotten. I simply wanted to know if anyone knew if they'd fit. Not get opinions on why the only wheels I can possilby get are the likes of bbs ccw volk work and others. Fact of the matter is yes I would love to have those wheels but, there is no way on my salary I'll be able to afford them. Also yes casting in more inconsistent and heavier.I understand these shortcomings among others. My car is a daily driven car. Id hate to beat up such expensive wheels as well. Also im a professional mechanic and I'd much rather pay to replace a broken cast wheel than any of the suspension components under the car or tweak mounting locations even. Hell racers like ken block use wheels the shatter on heavy impact to save the suspension components. So id like just an answer to my question and not have people try to run a clinic on what they think I dont already know.

You can afford anything on any salary. You own a Z don't you? How did you do it? By saving up money and/or by finding a good deal I assume (but you know what happens when you assume...). You can do that with anything you purchase whether it's rims, body kit, clothes, etc..

The reason why this thread went off topic is because many people on here support the original design from companies (Volks, Works, BBS, etc), and will pay for the quality (forged vs cast). And as always, there will be others that support the replica scene. Kind of like politics democrat vs republican. It's a never ending debate.

Why not just buy the OEM Rays 19s if you do not have some on the Z already.
