rpf1 or 57dr ?

18x9.5 +15 enkei rpf1

or 18x9.5 +22 gram lights 57dr?

... I do not want to roll or have any issues with fitment. I have stock suspension currently but plan on buying a set of ohlins in the future. Would 18x9.5 +22 be the best size? 265/35/18 tires.

I would go with the Gramlights myself, my friend had the RPF's in that size it looked good and he was lowered on Tein coils.

if you care about performance and unsprung weight def go with rpf1 - the gramlights are actually not that light - over 22lbs IIRC

i will go with rpf1.
57dr is a copy cat of te37, if you really like that style, save your money to go with te37.

Personally I like the RPF1s. Great, lightweight wheel!

RPF1's require fender rolling. Get a set of 57dr's.

18x9.5 RPF1 +38 offset. Run a 25mm spacer up front/5mm spacer rear. Your rear quarters are going to be destroyed by either of the wheels with the offset you've spec'd. +30 to +33 in 9.5" is about the perfect fitment inboard/outboard in the rear. Caliper clearance is your only fight up front, and that is dialed in with a spacer. Lots of room up front. I run 10.5's on factory fenders, so you have room... use it wisely.

The MiRO wheels that I have are knock-off TE37s. The Rota Grids are knock-off TE37s. The Gramlight 57DR by Rays is as far from a knock-off as you can get.

Agreed. Rays makes both the Volks and the Gramlights, saying the same company knocks off its' own wheels is silly.

Or try the enkei rs05rr in 18 x 9.5 +22. Perfect fitment and only .5 lbs heaver then rpf1s and way stiffer!.

+22 all day. They won't rub with 265/35-18.

Source: I had +15 RPF1, they rubbed. I have +22 TE37SL. They don't rub, don't require rolling.
Tires are PSS.
