RPF1 center caps?

[PHXDEMON]

Just got my new 16" RPF1s with sumitomo tires from tire rack in only 3 days The enkei center caps are ugly and 100 bucks a set. I have found a lot of alternatives that are cheap but they are all relatively flat and wont clear the front axle. The size is 63mm.

Nice! I purchased mine just over a month ago and love them. Mine are in Black. I too was surprised in how fast they were shipped!

Can you do me a favor:

Can you see what the Maximum Load Capacity is? It should be cast somewhere on the backside of the wheel. No wheel manufacturer's website has this information and nowadays, wheels are mounted to the wall so I can't go in and check myself.

TIA.

Oh, and BTW, looks nice. What is the width and offset and tire size?

the tires are 205/50/16. The wheels are 16x7 not positive on the offset it was just whatever tireracks calculator picked. the only thing on the back/inside of the wheel was a quality control sticker and a number 72 stamped on the back of it. The rpf1s are highly regarded for how light/strong they are so I can imagine they will take whatever weight the Yaris suspension can handle. If you are lowered like I am I would recommend going with a slightly thinner tire because the only rubbing I have is when the wheel is cranked all the way.

Thanks!

I am actually looking for 16inch wheels for my IS300. I believe its curb weight is 3,400lbs, quite a bit more than a Yaris. I am just tired of the low profile tire look. To me, 50 series tires are low enough; mainly because I like the slight "poofiness" of the sidewalls with a slightly higher profile; Stock IS300 tires are 215/45-17 and I want to go to 225/50-16.

I has hoping there might be a casting that says, "xxx kg" where xxx = about 600.

How much is your car lowered and with what setup? It looks like the perfect setup I am thinking of.

Oh well. I really appreciate that you took the time to look anyway!

its dropped on tanabe df210 springs. I believe its like a 2 inch drop all around. when I bought the car it had 215./45/17s which were awful and rubbed if I ran over a stick.

Nice. Been sporting my 16's for a couple of years now (garage has pics and specs). The way those look, the rims appear to be -43 offset. Good luck on finding caps.

personally, i like the way they look without caps, but they're your wheels(wish they were mine :lol: ). just paint the spindles on the front wheels black and call it a day!

Are the fenders rolled or shaved or modified in any other way? I've been thinking of going 16" as well...

Didnt know you offered that style RPF1 I have bought from you in the past and have been very satisfied

rear fenders are rolled and rear wheel well liners are removed. With a slightly thinner tire you would probably be fine.

Agreed. They look better raw than the shitty official rpf1 senter caps. ill probably just leave them as is unless I can find a good deal on some better looking ones.

[TOUGEghost]

Looks fine without the caps. I never had any center caps on mine.

[bzinn 1]

Honestly RPF1's look correct without the center caps...with them it looks just wrong.....
