So I am stuck between choosing black enkei RPF1's or bronze matte work emotion cr kai,
I have a sebring silver s2000 with CF hood and a black trunk (just painted black between where the lights are, not the entire trunk)
IDK WHAT TO CHOOSE!!!
Guys your input is much appreciated
staggered set vs non-staggered set?
also, will any additional work be needed for fitment of these wheels? I know for a staggered set of enkie's requires rolled fenders
LMK guys!!!

I posted this twice so I could get a greater concentration of responses
thanks guys!!!

 

Both

 

Staggered, its sexy and its how our cars were designed.
Enkei is a good choice, but i prefered it to fit perfectly
TSW Nurburgings, Gunmental, 17x7.5 front, 17x9 rear, no rub


Best advice, read in the wheel and tire forum and see what fits, there is a fitament guide too. worked for me!

 

If you want to stay away from rolling the rear fenders I'd get TR motorsport rims or TsW Nurburgrings in 17x9 all the way around with 255 0r 245/40/17s or if you want staggered, 255/40s rear and 225/45s front. The new Kuhmo Ecsta LE Sport tires look nice.

Get a Eastwood fender finisher and bend the fender tabs using their directions. I did it quickly and with no cracked paint. Run about -2 camber front and rear and you are good to go (obtainable with OEM camber adjusters)

If you are worried about the car being a little more oversteer, disconnect one of your rear swaybar end links and or upgrade your front swaybar with a stiffer aftermarket one.

 

work cr kai hands down
looks soo much better. rpf1 look decent, too common and sometimes too bland unless you get sbc IMO
i like the look of non-staggered cr kai cause all wheels will be concave

EDIT:
staggered vs non-staggered
what i've gathered from that thread is that people prefer non-staggered for street and track, being able to rotate tires on all corners and depending on suspension setup and downforce non-staggered is better

 

rpf1's are lighter

 

im a fan of both the wheels. the rfp1's are nice if you get them custom powder coated a neat color and are a great price for the quality and weight.
the work wheels are very nice also but i kinda like the simplicty of the rfp1's. i the rfp1's are probably a little easy on the wallet in comparison and you shouldnt have to wait as long to get the rfp1's.


i really like the work xd9's but thos are very expensive lol like te prices.

 

Both sets of wheels are nice looking. The Works look somewhat like AP2V1 wheels, but more aggressive...plus the concave look is simply amazing. The RPF1's are awesome too, but as people have said...everyone has them (not sure if you care about that). Also something to note...the RPF1's tend to look smaller than they really are. I think it's because of the shorter spokes with a thicker outer wall right before the tire. Take a look at pics on the forums...you'll notice that a 17" RPF1 wheel looks like a 16" wheel...or maybe it's just me, i dunno...

Either way, it'll look good. There's a reason why everyone has these wheels...

If you are getting them staggered, I'd go with the RPF1's. If you get them non-staggered, I'd probably lean towards the CR Kai's, just for the concave look (I don't like how the rears are concave and the fronts are not on the staggered setup).

I almost bought rpf1's. I decided last minute to get some work emotions. 17x9+44 all around in gun metal. So happy I chose these. Night and day difference in looks IMO. They are heavier and more expensive however.
With the concave face they look really really nice in person!

It's still a win win situation though. Both are great sets of wheels!

 

Works! I had a set on my first s2000 and have a set for my Integra now. I cant, and dont want to, get away from them. 17x9 +44 sounds like an awesome setup too.
