So I'm going to take a look at these tomorrow morning: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/wheels-t...-38-a-1170376/

If I'm not happy with them or they fall through, I'll order up some black RPF1s this weekend. After tons of searching/reading on the forum, I've decided to just buy an Eastwood rolling tool (they're in my hometown) and roll the fenders/relocate rear tab myself. From there I'll end up dipping the white wheels black and when the tires are done, I'll have them PCed black.

Be VERY patient with the heatgun and the rolling tool. Little bit a time.

Trackday Saturday so that should be the real test, but I think I'm safe.
So after the track day I had some slight rubbing on drivers rear.
12 o'clock on fender lip, tire burned away a slight amount of the black fender lip molding.
I'm assuming this is from the weight on the drivers side vs the empty passenger side plus the track has mostly right handers.

Also depends on the track and turns. If there is more hard sharp left handers or right turns you'll see rubbing accordingly. The driver weight is a factor as well. You need to check your fronts and look for any signs of rubbing the tabs on the liners. You really need to roll your fenders.
