Enkei RPF1 centercaps
Hi all,
I want to get centercaps for my RPF1s...but they're super expensive.
I found them at Good-Win-Racing here: http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda.../60-1080c.html
I know Brian at Good-Win-Racing is trustworthy...I bought my wheels from him.
I also found them at DaliRacing here: http://daliracing.com/v666-5/catalog...cfm?focus=1894
They are cheaper through DaliRacing, but has as anyone heard of them? can vouch for them? Anyone get scammed by them? I don't really trust these online sites without asking first.
Thanks,
Fil

The $ dif is minimal, buy from the one that has done you right w/good service. BTW I have those caps and let me tell you, the metal part looks like the cheapest piece of **** you could get away with. The logo part is cool, nice, looking finished piece.
On the car, they do the job, cover the hole. Rip-off city, go figure Enkie otherwise doesn't make enough money I guess.

The deal from Dali racing looks pretty awesome. Hope they're legit, but on a side note, do the mazda rotary center caps fit on the Enkei RP-F1 wheels? (the rotary centercaps)

I've never used hubcentric rings...they are only a crutch to align the wheels when you put them on...they don't do anything once the wheel is mounted and torqued on. If you are careful to use the proper torquing sequence when you put the wheels on...they will go on true...and you don;t need the rings

If we could keep the idiots with impact tools away from our cars...we would have a lot less problems ![Frown](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I tell anyone working on my wheels that if they come anywhere near it with an impact gun I am GONE...so far it has worked great. it also helps that I stay and supervise

You know when they talk about unsprung weight and how the 50 lb wheel/tire has to move 6in up in a fraction of a sec at 50 or 90mph when going thru the pothole and how that translates into 600 or 900 lbs of force ... something like that ...it's too early to do the numbers right

As far as metal vs the dumb *** plastic, they seem to work equally well (once they are sandwiched in there nothing is going to get to them to break), but the d.a.p. ones stick on the hub and when you try to tale them off, you need a tool which then typically chips or breaks the ring unless great care is used, even then...
