16/17 RPF1 PERFECT FITMENT

Hi guys,

Well after 7 long months we finally got in some wheels in the perfect fitment.

Enkei RPF1:

16x7.0 +30, YA I SAID A THIRTY OFFSET. Clears coils and fenders.

For the rear there are options:
16x8.0 +32 or +38 - 14lbs
and
17x9.0 +45 or +35 - 15.5lbs

GOOD GRIP TIRE SETUP:
215/45/16 RT615 - FRONT
255/40/17 RT615 - REAR

MSRP Wheels: $1000.00, MAT Forged barrel. Heat treated and shot peened face. You just can't find a bettter quality wheel in this fitment in this budget and of this weight. WERD UPPPP!!!!!!! EL PAALO i know you've gotta drool over this BUDGET DOPE WHEEL FITMENT.

Anyways, tell me what you guys think. Friend came through and let us put them on his car to verify fitment.







Hope this is helpful information.

The Good

- Strong
- Lightweight
- Excellent fitment, just about bang on
- Competitively priced

The OK

- relatively pretty but not extra juicy
- a little overly common (especially on track days)

16x7.0 +30 and 16x8.0 +32

You can run tire sizes of 215/45/16 and 225/50/16.

You can move up to 225/45/16 and 245/45/16 if you desire. Minor fender mods might be required.

$670.00 plus shipping and/or sales tax.

Can you help me push these Paalo?

I'll work out a deal with ya. wink wink.....

I'm way overstocked on the MR2 fitments, thinking this would be the end all of be all lightweight wheels for the MK2. It's sad to see people haven't jumped all over these great offsets and prices.

Can anyone send me a 'new' quote for 4x100 16x7 front and 16x8 rear for my MK1.. lowest offsets possible for front and back?


I came close to pulling the trigger at the end of the summer.. but held off.


Thanks!

pm'ing rishie or emailing sales@autornd.com may get you a quicker response.

I just wish they were produced in my fitment.



Rishie, you offering these to FC guys too? seems like good conservative fitment, iirc.
same for s14's ...........
16" dorito tires are cheaper than 18's.

still amazed they aren't selling. seriously rare to find a wheel like this at this price that fits the mr2 properly.

Those prices are so low I'm tempted to buy a 16/17 combo in case I get another deuce which is 3 years away at the earliest.

I'll survive. The gti is loads of fun.
I made a commitment to myself to actually keep this car for 4 years instead of trading it a year or year and a half down the road like I've been doing the past 10 years.
I like change and am always happy to try a new car ........ generally a very different car than the last.

last 3 were:
'05 XRunner 13 months
'05 LGT 19 months
'07 GTI 8 months so far ............ tempted to get 4 of the 17x9 +45 rpf1's and slap some wobble bolts on ............... I have 245/40 17 hoosiers in the garage too.
