Then buy new. Oakos is easy to deal with. I found the same thing when I was looking for RPF1's. Sellers overestimate their value. They are the best bang for the buck wheel but selling them for a 1k used before shipping and being able to score them for 1300 shipped brand new.......Thats a no brainer.

They'd have to be 900ish bux for me to consider used ones.

I wish they made them in a 30 or so offset in black and I would buy them in a second. The +15 does not fit right and you have to do a bunch of rear quarter panel work but you don't need spacers.

I had a set and sold them like an idiot. I have a set of 18X9.5's on my wife's forester but the bolt pattern is 5x100. I'm using my wife's CCW's from her STi but I'm thinking about buying another set of RPF1's for her STi and a 3rd set for my Evo. I like the wheels that much. Can;t beat the price and with powder-coating more accessible and cheaper then ever before you can change the color to something a bit more custom.

I spent forever looking for a set of used ones at a price that was justifiable, I ended up just getting them new from STM since they are local to me.

Im going to give you a text^

What would you guys recommend, I’m looking for the rpf1 in 18x9.5 or 10 and im wondering on the offset, I’m thinking +38 with 20mm up front. I want either gold or black. I can’t find them anywhere in black soI figured they don’t make them and only one place in gold.They make them in +15 but I do not want to do all that rear quarter panel work.Im ok with rolling them I can get one from my friend. I’m not sure what to do here but really want this wheel. I wish they made a +30 or so in a 18"

The sad reality is the used part market sucks. has sucked since the recession. Add to that people coming from cheaper platforms and used to paying pennies for knock off parts and you have what we have now.

People who would rather keep their used stuff then be insulted (like me......and the funny thing was if a week passed before something i posted for sale was sold.....that was a really long time just a few years ago), and the people go the other way and think just because their parts are in good condition they should get like new money.

Both types need to be realistic. Either you're a friend to your buddy or he is not a good a friend as you think.

600 is tool low. I think 800-900 is fair for good condition wheels.

Oh and they only made up to 17 inch in Gold. You'll have to powder coat them.
