SOLD! Enkei RPF1 Matte Black *RARE* with A/S Tires & Optional Nitto Tire Pkg.
It's really hard for me to let these go but I have to; so hard that you should play leona lewis when viewing this thread 
Ideally, these wheels and these specific tires were made to fit perfectly on an RX8 as they do not rub when lowered all the way. This fitment is not for the weak hearted and I recommend rolling rear fenders but buyer can get away with it if dropped with moderation, nothing too extreme.
WHEELS
Brand/Model: Enkei RPF1
Construction: 1PC
Specs: 18x9.5 ET45 All Around, 18.xx lbs
Color: Matte Black with Red Enkei logo. (Discontinued model)
Condition: Slight curbing on two of the wheels but touched it up. They are only on the very outer lip. This is how I received the wheels and did not curb that at all. In general, I would rate these 8.5-9.0/10.
The paint on these wheels are awesome and there are no chips anywhere. The center caps go for $100 as well
TIRES
FRONT
Brand/Model: Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S with Carbon Fiber Sidewalls
Size: 275/35-18 (Slightly stretched outward)
Condition: Since these wheels and tires are brand new--and also wide I might add--there was no camber wear. These tires are basically brand new. These wheels have carbon fiber sidewalls for added reinforcement and performed excellent in the rain and snow (and i'm from upstate!)
REAR
Brand/Model: Yokohama Advan S.4 A/S
Sze: 275/35-18 (Slightly stretched outward)
Condition: Just like the Goodyears, these are in the same condition, almost brand new. I purposely put these in the rear since they have very thick and robust sidewalls; you can see from the pictures.
The reason why I chose two different brands for the fronts and rears is because I have heard the Goodyear Eagle F1's to be a bit noisy on the road, so the noise is reduced by half, and these two brands--Goodyear and Yokohama--were the top two competitors in all seasons and are very expensive.

PRICE & OPTIONAL NITTO INVO TIRE PACKAGE
I'm not looking to lose or gain any money from these wheels as I haven't damaged them in any way... I bought them with Nitto Invo tires (~70% tread remaining) for $1500--I even busted my ass during school and drove to Canada to pick these up! You won't find this finish and especially this size anywhere. I replaced those Nitto Invo's with the Goodyears and Yokohamas which cost me exactly $829 with M&B.
So, I'm looking to get $1750 picked up, $1900 shipped. I would be taking a hit with this price too.
The optional Nitto tire deal: Because the Nitto Invo's are summer/track/performance tires, you can run these in the summer time if you would like, and also throw the Goodyear/Yoko tire on in the fall/winter. These tires are expensive. If you would like these too I can cut you a deal and set the price to $2200 shipped (Only $300 more for 4 tires).

OH, forgot to add something important, lol.
I am currently in Queens, NY and am available for pick up; BUT, I go back to school Jan 15th... so those of you who want to pick them up and are local, act quickly before I can only ship! (Because my school is in the middle of no where and no one will be willing to pick them up in Ithaca, NY lol.)

can't believe you're selling them. I wonder if these would fix on my friend's evo7. I will let him know!

Hm... one finger gap in the front would be okay, but you might rub if you have 2 or more ppl in the car or go over bad bumps, what are you dropped on? If you're on aspec suspension you'll be okay, if you're on lowering springs you might have to research it a bit more, and if you're in coilovers you can just raise the car up around 5 threads and you'll be good.

I'm on Eibach springs and Koni SP3s... 2nd perch from the bottom out of 5.
Maybe I'll do 255/265 tires instead. Would you sell me just the rims? Don't really want the center caps either.
PM me. I tried to avoid buying new wheels but since you got these, I've been secretly hatin on you.
