STX only allows 18x9 and a 265 tire. The RPF1's are 18x9.5. So therefore I needed a new set of wheels for STX.

The RPF1's are 18.5lbs

The RE30's are 17.4lbs

I still have the RPF1's, and wont be selling them. Just couldnt use them for the class I will be in next year for AutoCross.

I hope my local autocross people aren't that picky about my wheels... I'll be running 265's, maybe they won't notice? .5 inch added width on the max size tire isn't really helping me anyway is it? Especially since I'm a total novice and the other STX guys in my area are definitely NOT novice. Doesn't really matter anyways... I doubt I'll make it out to many events next year, I only went to one this year... I just go for the fun driving

^Yeah they shouldn't mind at the Local events if your just doing it for fun and not really competiting. I'll be doing some National Tours next year, which is why I bought these wheels. Otherwise I'd just stay in STU for the local events with the Enkeis.

Killer pix, man. Love 'em. This one's awesome, but I wanted it to have more pop. Maybe your grapher already did one. I was just messin'.

background doesn't really look realistic, if you did that to just the car, it'll be better.

Love the last pic, nice wheels too. I like the last shot the best even though it doesnt show the wheels, I am a sucker for moving shots.

Bullit, I like that picture. It really makes the car stand out. As of right now the photographer is still working on getting Photoshop, so none of the photos have been edited.

Yeah, standout. That's what I was going for. That one's not print-ready, but it might make a good desktop.
