Never was a fan of these wheels either... There are other wheels out there just as light that look 10x better

I bought my car with a set of 17" kosei ks-t1's. I like the look of the rpf1's and I think they would look great on a sedan. To each their own though...

I sure can

Despite the quality, those rims look super cheap to me, just a bad design IMO. But we all have different tastes!

they look REALLY nice on 350z and Evos. I actually thought about this RPF1 + Sedan look but was really iffy about it. I figure you gotta have the set with low off sets and at least 9.5 so the face of the rims will be concave. AND you gotta have 19s. If not then its gonna look really weird. Small rims, convex face and all...

I still dont like em. I like my pf01s much better. James how about you get some aftermarket wheels then you can have an opinion. lol Also you dont have to have too low of an offset. Im using them as functional wheels. +35 front and +38 with 255/295 and looks ok to me

The style of rim makes them look tiny no matter what. The spokes only go to about 70% of the actual rim size. That's what I hate. Most rims that style at least incorporate a lip to set it off, these don't, they are specifically made so they look smaller than they are, with no visual benefit.

The whole design is a huge fail for me. The one pictured above is guaranteed at least a 18" but more likely, a 19"

The RPF1 was designed after the wheels on a formula one car. That's pretty sexy imo

I agree with TunerMax's lip comment.

Hence why the 19" rays look so awesome.

And because it's designed based off that makes it appealing?

I suppose then, if I put one of those huge wings on my car, that would also be appealing?

Just saying, pretty strange basis for an opinion
