IMO Enkei makes a lot of cheap looking wheels.

They may look cheap but they can handle a lot. Ask the trackers who use the RPF-1s

I definitely am not implying all their wheels are cheap. For instance I provided a link in this thread for a group buy on black enkei rpf1 wheels But I also remember their wheels from the 80's and they were not considered quality. They have done well to move up market but unfortunately they have not dropped the lower end of their line. Of course this is all my opinion which is worth squat!

Yeah, the "Racing Series" are mostly good looking, light and strong. The "Performance Series" and "Tuning Series" are mostly ugly, cheap and 7.5" wide max (so meant for Civics, etc.) and don't do much for brand image. The wheels the OP posted have to be the ugliest I've seen from them.

RPF1-RC ftmfw!

major bling, as good as HRE and also light enough to back it up imo. its a good SSR alternative for performance...

then again, its just my opinion.
