i was going to do the NT03+M's but they didnt have a low enough offset for my fenders. also the RPF1's weigh less and i think at speeds below 60mph, i wont have to worry about spoke flex. Plus i have always loved the way these wheels looked and i got them for a killer deal ($250 for the 10.5's and $23x.00 for the 10's)

Yes, they do weigh less, and I would have gotten them if not for the expected track usage. I thought you were looking to start doing time trials, though.

That'll work, or rather, use good street tires on the stock rims. RE-01Rs or something...

ok, everyone with harnesses (jarrod) where did you mount them? i got the takata long harnesses and bolted the back part to where the rear seatbelts used to be, but where did you bolt the lap part into? did you use the stock seatbelt location or did you drill the floor board or did you put it in the seat mounting bracket? thanks

I used the stock front locations. If you get the right size bolts and washers and spacers you can keep the stock front belts for tooling around town. . .
