Hahahaha sounds like a plan to me

Any reason why the gloss black over satin? I like satin black because it almost looks like a gunmetal color at times...

I could always do a black chrome. LOL

Love black chrome, but hate the cost. I'm just not a big fan of Matte or satin black wheels.

fresh2deaf · 10-26-2009, 11:35 AM

absolutely dark gunmetal

Eminence · 10-26-2009, 11:37 AM

But a gunmetal car with gunmetal wheels = too much gunmetal

Ouch. Are you sticking with RPF1's? You can still go somewhere around a 10.5 +25.

I prefer a rare wheel. Or at least relatively rare. I think MS1's fit that. I have yet to see another IS 300 with them.

I agree with that.

Eminence · 10-26-2009, 09:54 PM

The 10.5 +25 will work but the closest that the RPF1 comes in is 10.5 +22 but in 19s only. You better hope I can find some RPF1 to work lol or else your last comment will be nulled haha.

I am not sure if I want to stick with the RPF1 or go with something different. I have yet to find something I want. My heart desire some Volks SE37K, VERY RARE and discontinued!. I wish I kept my LE37k!

I have no problem selling you my wheels

It's funny that you want SE37K's though.. My friend has been looking for new wheels and EVERY time we talk about it he mentions them.

Are the concave in wider setups? I've seen a few sets of 18's (usually 7.5 or 8's) go through the clubrsx forums. I've never seen a WIDE SE37K so I don't know if widening them would have the same effect for you.

twestman · 10-27-2009, 01:49 AM

Yeah, I love SE37K's....

If I didn't get the RPF1's, I would have gone with CE28n's. Hands down my favorite Volk wheel. I've actually been obsessed with CE28n's since day one of knowing what they were. When RE30's came out, I thought I might like them more than the CE28n's... Then I realized I was nuts, and went back to obsessing with CE28n's.

Haha

Eminence · 10-27-2009, 06:45 AM

18s are hard to come by for the CE28N, if you find anything it's most likely 16s or 17s. I used to rock the limited edition LE28 in gunmetal with a polished lip. It was a nice and clean wheel but I sold it a S2000 fella.

The face does concave slightly but nothing really noticable.

Just got the two wheels from js300. I mount them on the car, I do not like them one bit. So they are going up for sale.

ooh bummer

is it the face of the wheel or the fitment or both!

you should just take off the rt-615s and keep them since you got them for so cheap and they're brand new! are they 225s or 235s?

found some 18x10.5 +15 rpf1 if youre still looking for those

Eminence · 10-27-2009, 10:00 PM

Just something about them, doesn't look right to me. The fitment is fine because I have some Vertex Fenders on the way.

The tires are 245/40/18, to me they are a bit beefy. Maybe some 245/35/18 would look alot better?

Or maybe I found a great deal on some Volks TE37 18x10.5 +22? LOL

The 18x10.5 +15 will not work for me.

please do the volk te wheels, you will officially be my hero

if not the 10.5 you can still do 9.5 +22 all around with the vertex fenders. if i was in your situation right now i'd buy the tes in a heartbeat no question about it. i also would go for a set of lipped and concave ce28s as well.

here are some 18x9.5 +22 te37s i found and was drooling over:

those takata green ones are sick!

Eminence · 10-28-2009, 08:01 AM

I have already done the CE28N. I also don't want to downgrade in size, I am looking to run 10.5 +22 in the rears, wider is better!
