i would change the lug nuts if wheel theft wasnt so common around this area, so id rather sacrifice the look for a lil safety

here are some more pics, its not too too bad when i hit a decent bump it rubs but other than that its good.... i dunno what im going to do yet but ill see if i get tired of rubbing then ill prolly sell them

Well the way I see it, if you want "aggressive" RPF1s, that "concave", then you are going to still have rubbing, if not worse rubbing. So I say keep the JLBs if it is a street car, or get RPF1s if it is a track car.

thanks for the responses and compliments fellas, i guess im gonna keep them just because i dont want to possibly venture off into something else and loose money or regret it because the car does look nice, its just the random rubbing isnt specially when i see a dip ahead of time my butt cheeks pucker up lol

Unless you car is going to be a track car, why get a wheel that everyone has? Albeit, RPF1's are nice, but my god everyone has them! Stick with the JLB's!

Oh well!
