you cant really make an even comparison, the comparison that IKoRTy was a good representation of what you would get with each, in their most aggressive option

the car with the robispec sticker has 18x10.5 +15 and i believe the other dude has 19x10 +22 the most aggressive width and offset in their category 18"/19"

they also have the RPF1's in these sizes in a 5x114.3 bolt pattern:

18x8.5 +40, +30
18x9 +35
18x9.5 +45, +38, +15
18x10 +38
18x10.5 +15

19x8.5 +22
19x9.5 +22
19x10 +22

I wouldnt go less than a 9.5' width when upgrading wheels on a X . Stock wheels are 18x8.5 +38

I strongly recommend that you go with 18x10.5x+15 as it is the sickest look on a dropped X. I got mine 2 days ago after finally choosing them over the 9.5 mainly after seeing evoxkrazy's pics. Also color plays a huge part on the look since silver shows more detail to the naked eye. Don't get me wrong I almost bought black but tirerack gave me a greaaat deal on mine in silver.

You didn't hear this from me but I got them for $270 a wheel from $350 msrp!

Very nice stance, setup.

Evokrazy, your's looks really nice. How is your rear fender clearance? I rolled my rear fenders with 19x10 +25.

Why does everyone have such a hard-on for RPF1's? I'm not hating, I really just don't see the mass appeal they have, what am I missing?

Both weight and price are low, plus the wheels looks good.

I will be rolling them Saturday, and not sure on the camber. When I had my alignment done last year it was almost zero'd out. After the rear roll it looks like it be fine. I have driven it for two days now and you just have to be careful not to hit any bumps too fast. I did have to trim the inside of my RA flaps since it was catching in the front. Pics will be coming over the weekend after I get done with my downpipe install.

Tire are 275/35/18 Yoko S Drives.
