I would stick with silver, or polish them up though.
Ehem... Negative ghost rider. I'm a wheel whore. It's what us whores do. Whore ourselves out in order to.... Oh wait, wheels. Right. Buy, sell, buy, sell. It's fun changing it up
I want more of an aggressive setup, but I also want lighter wheels because the VS-XX's felt... meh. I also have an unending desire to go wider, and lower. It's a disease.

I think I might just go high gloss black or a really dark gunmetal that looks close to black.
No doubt! I saw those and nearly jumped on it! 615's aren't cheap tires, and that's a perfect beginning for a track setup.

You aren't allowed to. You need to focus on the turbo build so you can have it ready for when you come to AZ.

Hey E, I'm not gonna lie... I really really really want to *possibly* try the satin black on GGP. But I keep telling myself it's going to look off.... I have black headlights/fog lights, black grille, black sidemarkers, black calipers, black lug nuts, black window/mirror trim, black window tint, black interior... I mean, I have a lot of black sh*t on my car! So, I'm thinking it might match well? I have no other colors on my car other than black and grey if I powder coat the RPF1's satin black.
Thoughts? I know everyone hates black wheels but....

Should I? I swear it would almost be easier if I only had three colors to choose from. But no! Damn modern technology is a pain in my ass. LOL
Black on GGP just looks off to me. Black wheels to begin with look like steelies, so I'm never a fan of them. I will say that the GGP with black Work XSA 02C looks damn good. But it's your car man!

Which? I've never seen that specific GGP... I don't think.
Should have. I think if I decide to go a different route, I wouldn't have a problem making my money back. So you're SOL, lol. Keep the BBS, it's a great setup for your car. I think I am going for a more touring style now, and not the luxury look anymore.
I know what their response will be because I was working at a shop that was sponsored by Enkei.
Its just like any other wheel company. For instance, if you were to order Work Emotion CR-Kai's and you wanted white ones. If you pay an extra $60 a wheel, you can have the wheels within the week because they'll be powder coated at their factory in California. Or you pay the price on the website and wait for a container from Japan.

Its not hard to get what you want!
REGARDLESS, purple, haha.
When the sizes I want are on a 6 month backorder from Japan... That proves to be problematic.
From what I understand, talking to G-ruppe and Touge Factory and the many other big Enkei retailers and supporters, you have to do a buy in, like 400 wheels, in order to be able to get them in any color you want them. These guys do Enkei RPF1 all day because they are major Subaru and EVO shops, which is where Enkei's market is at currently.
Travis, IMO I think Black will go with anything. I love black wheels, wish I never got rid of my CE28N for $1400 lol and that was with fairly new MICH PS2.
Corey, after further calculations it seems like the 10.5 +15 will go 1/2" pass my fenders!
^^ He speakes the truth. G-ruppe s, touge factory and gt motoring need a group buy of 10-15 maybe more to get a special color from enkei in a specific size/offset.

I would stab myself in the Eye if I haD tO look at either of those sets of wheels on my car.
Then go with a cooler wheel than the rpf1. Not rare, too common, average looking to me.

Everyone have different opinions on what is cooler, what is nice, etc. The RPF1, IMO, are great wheels at great price. RPF1 are great wheels and even alot of the Porsche track guys ride on them, light weight and strong.
