I've been looking but can't seem to find them that often near ga area.

the shipping is the killer on used rims, if you ask me.

but that's a good start.

We have some Enkei RPF-1 in silver. 17x8.5 +30 that weigh 16.8lbs each according to the scale here at work. We are doing them for $980 shipped. Let me know if you are interested! Thank you!

yeh, i'm around that range at $1000 per set.

then i'll throw some falken azenis RT-615's on those.

I can't decide between RPF-1 and Rota P45R.

RPF-1 is real strong from all the track guys I've talk to.

But P45R is just mean looking... red lip and black on a red car? that's just too pretty.

My vote for Enkei's.
Another inexpensive option is Gram Lights but they are heavier than Enkeis (cost about the same).

are there another option? everyone at the track has the enkies...

I know it's good, but it's not really appetizing as far as how it looks.

The thing about the P45R is that its an 18x9.5 wheel

Even if you decided with the P45F, thats still an 18x8.5 wheel.

Unfortunatly they are not made in 17"

The only 17" rotas currently made for an Evo are the Torques, Boosts, and Slipstreams.

Torques and Boosts are 17x8 and Slipstreams are 17x8.5 or 17x8
