let me put it in better words. Rpf1 fitment is much better and looks a lot better. 17x9 +45 is the most common setup. So many ppl do this cuz it just works. And u can throw on a 255 tire on. This is from a race guys point of view. Idk about street style haha

It doesn't have better fitment simply by virtue of poking out of the wheel well and it definitely does not look better. It's the most common setup because it is also one of the cheapest aftermarket setups. From a racing point of view, the higher offset wheel which will fit in the fenderwell is the better option.

Are you running +45? It looks like you have wide fenders in your picture

You can run the same size tires on the PF01 and like Fokker said the offset is much safer for your fenders.

true, it is a very common setup, I'm just not a fan of six-spoke (and twin six-spoke) wheels so its impossible for them to look better... at least to me

You can't go wrong with either/ Personally I like the lower offset RPF1. With the PF01 in such high offset, you get the bubble face. Looks odd to me.

The PF01 does have the better (higher) offset and needs less work to make them fit If I can help let me know..
