Default Why has no one done this...

I used to get very involved with aftermarket companies, and push for new products and really do a lot of legwork on my free time, to try and get new products on the market. I have seen first hand what manufacturers are willing to do if demand is proven, some of it can be very extensive. Why on earth hasn't any one or more of our sponsors/vendors gotten together and held a large GB for OEM Fitment RPF1's? All the AutoX guys would run them, and people like myself who aren't into rolling fenders would be able to put the wheels on the car with piece of mind. I'm sure Enkei would require the purchase of quite a few sets, but a lot of sponsors could be willing to take that risk, as anyone who wants OEM fitment, lightweight, sexy wheels would have a great option...

</RANT>

Thoughts anyone? Why not better fitment wheels for the car?

the 17x7 , 17x8 +45 fitment is safe and doesnt require fender rolling. It is just that the 17x9 has a "concave" face and looks better, which is why more people now are buying the 17x8 and 17x9 set-up.

i think stock offsets would be better. so we can run wider tires in the back.

Yeah, didn't really want to post a "rant" thread, but some of these vendors need to contact Enkei...
