I wish those BBS wheels were your track wheels. Car would look much cooler tearing it up.
Car looks pretty lame on the AP2 wheels on track. I'm looking at maybe getting a set of RPF-1s later on when it makes sense to do so, IE not when I have a set of nearly-new ZIIs in stock sizes.
If you buy RPF-1s I will beat you senseless with your own legs. Just sayin'.

Why? They're cheap, light, relatively strong, fit, support my tire choice......

Everything else in that price point is even worse. TSW Nurburgrings? TRM C3s? Rotas? Come on.

Nah, RPF1's are where it's at.

I'm honestly tempted to sell my stock sizing CE28's for a set of 17x9 +45's.

I just want a set as track wheels. I'm honestly not too worried about they way they look. I'm not baller enough to have a set of CE28s as track wheels that will get f@#ked up by my brake dust.
