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.

This is an awesome combination; I'm going the same route with the 18x8 RPF1s as soon as I get the rest of the suspension done.

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.

I love those wheels. Have you thought of painting them a diffferent color? Silver on red is a bit bland in my opinion. Maybe bronze or gold?

i thought of polishing either the lip or the spokes to match up with the rest of the chrome on the car.

ive seen this done before and it looks awesome!!

Go for it. I'd really like to see something new done with RPF1's.

Man, I just sold my Enkei RPF1's on S2ki, I've been trying to get rid of these for a long time and let a set go for $1100.... I had brand new michelin pilot sports on there too.

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.

Nice to see more and more MR on here. Don't make me feel so alone. I'll share some once I could get a hold of camera

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)
