Which do you prefer?

Option 1 (Work Varianza T1S):



Option 2 (Enkei RPF1 Time Attack):

 

NOT a time attack fan.

Black? Yes.

Red (or green or whatever) stripe? No.

 

those time attacks look sweet on nbp

 

I think the Varianzas look better but im a little biased hehehe. Ever considered painting your Works like a nice broze or dark gold? I had that idea for a while but my wheels are too new to paint for now.

 

Thanks!

LOL. I hear ya. Regarding powdercoating them, I might consider it in the future, but for two things. One, the funds aren't right. Two, check my sig!

 

is rpf1 choice the exact wheels in the picture? What are the specs on those?

 

Btw the wheel is on backwards in the rpf1 pic lol!!

 

Yes. 17x8 +35 all around. Almost OEM.

 

look at the tire's tread ~_~

 

Hmmm...they're all like that.

 

work it. I don't like time attacks.

 

Good find, Sjr.!

I'm going to have them remounted.

I think you can finally be taken off of status.

 

not really feelin the time attacks

 

i like both either way you cant go wrong

 

not feeling the black wheels on any car so not those

 

Paint your calipers if you do time attacks

 

like comparing strawberries to tomatoes..... hard to compare dude

work is for looks, as they have lips, and is up there with the VIP look

Enkei is strictly weight reducted, their designs aren't as fancy as work but will let you fly.

So VIP or JDM? I'd stick with the works dude..

 

Work without question. Those wheels are hot and look great on almost every TL.

 

work!! ftw!

 

Works vs. Enkeis? It's not even close. Not to mention that I don't think time attack belongs on TLs.

 

should've bought Mike's set!!! i liked the works though.

 

time attacks look hot in my opinion.

 

Time attacks if your gonna track it, Works for VIP status

 

That is my plan, exactly.

 

They are a different style wheel w/ a different purpose...

time attacks? I see no Volks in this thread. Enkei's w/ a red painted lip.

 

Works if I'd have to choose. Those enkei wheels are so played out on here now...

 

Looks like someone tried to rotate directional tires. Big noob mistake.

 

it's the complete opposite style wise...

but which time attack rpf1 you getting... only the 18x8.5 +30 is the only available in black and you'd custom paint a red pinstripe on there

DO NOT POWDERCOAT RPF1... they will shatter first bump you hit

 

6 or 7 people spread out across the country is considered played out?

I'd go with the rpf1's.......love the look of the black on black and that stripe sets it off nicely. I like Ronjon's time attack legends better though

 

The amount of people that have gotten on that bandwagon this year yes.

 

Pricenlybug dont get discouraged thou, i prefer the Varianzas but the rpf1's are hot too. They give the TL an agressive blacked out look that i love.

 

Why is that? o_o

 

How can it be played out when theres only like 3 people who own them? Aznbo's parting out his car, Stillhere parted out his car, and Bforbrian got aspecs. To be honest, the only ones I know of that own rpf1's now are me and Princelybug (the two Scotts LOL). The only other person I know of that still MIGHT have rpf1's on a TL don't even come around this forum anymore cause he's banned.

Might as well call te37's played out, or even varianzas played out.

 

I've heard powdercoating can weaken the wheel, due to the heat involved in the process. I've also heard that powdercoating is fine.

+1.

Unless someone gets on the TE37 g2's.

 

They were mounted properly, but just put on the car the wrong way. All that needed to happen was that the passenger side tires had to be transferred over to the driver's side, or vice versa. No big deal.

 

Hmmm, if overheating is the problem, maybe the powdercoaters can heat it at a lower temp? I've heard of this problem too, and I remember reading that if it's above a certain temp, it can damage the wheel.

 

looks vs. performance.

 

Something to do w/ enkei's forging process and pc requiring baking compromises integrity n durability
