The Enkei RPF1 with the 41mm offset is 9.5lb - I have commented on a couple of other occasions, the best upgrade you can make - acceleration, braking, suspension.

I used the duplicolor hi-temp engine paint. It would be neat to see someone use the metalcast paints.

Now we can quickly tell your car and Peter's apart if you guys ever have a meet.

The other thing I did if you didn't notice was a rust treatment for those ugly threaded rods in the center. After the treatment dried, it formed a dark primer which I covered with Duplicolor high temp flat black. If you spray some in a container you can use a paint brush and apply it. That is the way I painted the calipers.

that looks pretty cool, how about a thin time attack green stripe on the rims?

And definitely.... a green Micro Image sticker on the rear quarter window.. :rolleyes:

No, the drums are not green. I decided to hold off on that. Instead, there is a bit ofdifference in color between the wheels and the rear drums, I may just use the duplicolor flat black and pain the drums a deeper black. I will also be coating the inside the wheel wells with either the same flat black paint or sound dampening liquid from Second Skin Audio.

As for the question as to whether or not the rims are worth it, the best investment I have ever made.
