Agree and disagree. Rpf1's have a horrible back spoke design that sticks inward. My 9.5 +25 fits fine. I doubt any wheel is worse so a +22 should fit no problem.

Like I said. It fits.

Setup runs similar to Volk (it's a Volk knockoff), so 19x9.5 +22 front 19x10.5 +12 rear works.

From the thread I linked to earlier:

I've never run them, but I'd probably re-verify with a vendor before ordering them. Varrstoens do not have the same caliper clearance as Volks.

There's also nothing in the link you posted indicating a lack of spacers.

So you agree 100% with me... The face of the wheel determines brake clearance. That's why I have to run T-disk on my VS-XX's when normally I could just run R-disk (WORK Wheels). Its all in the face design.

No because rpf1s come in different offsets. They all have the same spoke design but offset does make the difference for which will and won't fit. A different offset also changes the back design slightly so it's not one or the other, it's both.

You're totally right on cheap 1 piece cast wheels. I was thinking more the 2/3 piece wheels. Sorry about that. I have never bought cheap wheels before so am not very knowledgable in that respect.

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.
