enkei rpf1 nsx/s2000 fitment 17x8 17x9
hey people, its been a month today since i purchased my TSX and im loving it. check out my new wheels and drop
Enkei RPF1's
17x8 +45 with 215/45/17 falken 452
17x9 +45 with 245/40/17 falken 452
Tanabe DF210 springs on stock shocks soon to be tokico blues
Ingals rear camber and toe kit
Mugen Wind / Rain Visors are to be installed once i decide if i want tints or not.
also t1r test pipe is up next too.
These lighter weight wheels and slightly lower diameter combination makes for a nice improvement in acceleration. im definitetly glad i did not go 18's or get heavy wheels. theres no rubbing issues
let me know what you think. and yes i know its not rear wheel drive.

I have a thing for milano red.
The enkei's are a good choice, my brother has those on his s2000.

thanks for the comments guys
they do look small but the increase in performance - especially in second gear acceleration out weighs the look all day.
i feel that the stock wheels and tires are too tall and heavy and lend to a car that feels geared way too tall and very slow.
anything taller than the stock diameter i think is going in the wrong direction in terms of performance.

To the OP,
Any reason why you got them wider in the back? It'll get kind of expensive since you can't rotate your rims.

I got them wider in the back simply to fit flush with the fenders. I also like the look of the wider 17x9 rpf1 (concave face)
