Clean and simple. Keep it that way with any future plans.

[JR VQ 30 de]

what wheels are those..

Enkie Rpf1's

[Sammich]

didnt know RPF1 had a concave design as well, kind of why i asked, interesting, which the front had a concave as well

Same wheel, they're just concave face when you get to 9" widths.

[RL...]

Nice and clean....after seeing so many riced out G's lately this is refreshing.

as a human with little relevance, i would have tossed 9" all the way around on that bitch and had concave all on it...i'm not into stagger as much as i used to be

thanks

[KyleG]

Looks really good!

[MeFryRice]

I like the RPF1's on there. It's nice to see a non-stanced G/350Z for a change.

i was about to ask for the same reason. Those are one of my fav wheels for an evo.

They make those?

[AV8ter]

They make those?

They do, and these appear to be a set of them, at least from what I can tell while viewing on my phone.

[black_e92]

i like it... simply clean

[Gashbell4595]

Super clean super simple, awesome car man.

[quickdodge®]

Always hated that wheel style, but they're not too big and they do look good on your car, OP. I like your car, man. Good job. Wouldn't change a thing.

[Sammich]

drag dr21s i believe

[atl_vq35]

WTF does this prove?

[Nerdsrock22]

Agree, those appear to be legit Enkeis.

[Doppelgänger]

And measureing the weight of a wheel with the tire on....lmao. Yeah.

lol those are the real deal.. they only make the reps in 15/16's

[AV8ter]

They make replicas in 17 and 18 as well. From what I can tell, OP's are replicas.

Replica:

Note the lug seats and the roundness of the insides of the spoke openings...

Man one can't post pics of their car without a shoot-out at the ok corral?

For real. Who gives a damn if the wheels are not the "real deal" wheels? Why is this an argument in this thread? Or any thread for that matter. Some people have some bizarre infatuations.

[E36slide]

This is why people don't want to post here instead of saying clean car man people started talking shit about if his wheels are real ? Like who gives a shit the car looks really good.

[Sammich]

lol i just wanted to know what wheels they are because i didnt know rpf1s made concave wheels...i didnt mean for the hating crowd to come around

[ssonsk]

everyone wants to be right

and by any means on the internet


Clean ass G Couple tho

[VQ35 Star]

They aren't arguing about the fact that its fake, they are arguing bc OP stated they were RPF1s.

Your G is way too clean man, you need something to make it pop i guess? I like it though.

I see what you're talking about now. Took me looking over some other pics. Interesting, I have not been able to find any RPF1-style wheels with a skim of the internet. Either way, they look great on the car.

[BenjaminJunu]

I can't tell the difference between the authentic and replica ones. I don't care either way..
They look very nice on that car, almost like the car came from the factory that way. love it.

[AV8ter]

I agree, they do look good on the car. Not sure why people perceived my posts as hostile. Someone asked a question regarding whether or not RPF1 reps were made. In no post was I bashing the OP.

Thanks to those who sent the REPS my way lol. :taun: Didn't even know people still did that on this forum.

[stevo_EF91]

Don't mean to stoke the fire but...

Ok so now the matter that if these wheels are replica or not is something worth talking about.

OP is offering to trade me his wheels claiming authentic 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 ENKIE RPF1

so im gonna pick the wheels apart and tell me if you agree

This is a pic the OP sent me to my phone and he did verify that this was his G35

http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l526/Stevenorwig/IMG953150.jpg

This is an authentic rpf1 a previous member posted

http://i41.tinypic.com/a1u9vp.jpg


ISSUES:

1. center cap hole area not consistent

2. lug nut bore or path not consistent.

3. spoke curves on OP's wheels not consistent. To small of a curve

4. concavity of the front 18x9.5 wheel not is not consistent. OP's wheel is more convex where the 18x9.5 is supposed to be concave.

He might just have his info wrong on the wheel sizes... but if he doesn't know what size they are then most likely he doesn't himself know that these are replicas and not authentic RPF1s


my conclusion = REPLICA just fyi because he is in the business to trade his wheels.

[Sammich]

LOL at saying they are authentic and they arent tho

The most simplest way to find out is have him show you a link where he bought them. If he bought them from someone off here maybe they can tell you. They look too similar to be 100% sure they are reps.


Edit: never mind I took a better look I see what y'all are taking about. Those are still some pretty nicely done reps. Sucks he's advertising them as authentic. I'm sure there still worth a good bit reps or not.

Sent from my mind

[AV8ter]

RPF1s are cheap enough; support the brand, buy the real deal. They are incredibly light and durable for their size. Easiest way to tell a rep is to put it on a scale.

i stand corrected i just confirmed it wheels are reps . I bought the wheels off a guy on craigslist who is also a member here i just don't have his username. he sold them to me as enkie rpf1's and never mentioned any thing about them being reps in the ad or in person. I never bothered to double check them since i use to have a set of rpf1s on my s4 and they look very familiar.

[Got Milk?]

Nice wheels, should have went with a different offset.
