Can't believe how much lighter these are compared to the stock chromies I have on :D. Is it March yet?!

I too have a new mod, I have a series 2 RX8 rear differential with a 4.77:1 ratio over my old 4.44:1, it's awesome! I dig those lightweight wheels Prime, I'm looking forward to seeing them in action

Did they really think 4.44 wasn't enough? That's crazy. And by crazy, I mean incredibly awesome. Who needs torque anyway?! :D

Haha! Hey torque is a variable, horsepower is the answer! ;)

rpf1 are great wheels, if only they cleared my brakes, i had to get the pf01s instead even though they have convex spokes, which made me have a sad when one was set face down and got a scratch, i know they are just track wheels but i have ocd about rash etc on any of my wheels :geek:
Mods: I have some. They make me :-) I am now broke :-(

Extreme wheel jealousy! I am running knock-offs of that style. :P

I have some 18x10.5 RPF1's as well. Nice wheels for the price and weight.

Love RPF1's....I run them on the miata and the cobra. Wish they were available wider than 10" in 17's though :?

Yep, if they made 11's and 12's in 18, I probably would have bought another two sets.
