I'm considering some new track racing rims, and looking at the Enkei RPF1's in 14x7.
They come in 2 insets, a 19mm and a 28mm inset.
Anyone know if there are fitment issues with the 28mm inset ?
I would prefer the 28mm inset, as those are spec'd to be a little lighter weight.

Quick Question - Why 14"?? More tire and rim choices available in 15".

As far as fitment goes, Goodwin Racing has a bunch of good fitment info on their site for these wheels. 28 might be ok under stock fenders, depending on the tire.Quote:

Because cool. Little wheel/fat tire is way more cool than the opposite. I'd rock these as my "streets" if I could afford it.Quote:

If it don"t go chrome it.
So JayJohnson600 are you going for a Hardparking Track car or an Actual Track car??
Not that there is anything wrong with a Hardparking Track car several folks on MME with that setup. ;-)
Halthing comes to mind, these days.Quote:

Until recently the car was lacking power, so my solution was to trim weight everywhere. Now with a need for rims, I was considering the RPF1's because they are super light.
Now that the power is on tap after a motor swap, traction is the issue and no need to keep a hard line of reducing the weight of the wheel.
So no need to stay with a 14inch rim. Moving up to 15inch rim. Also finding that I can get some 15x8's that are in the 12 pound range, so they are light for a 15inch rim and less expensive than RPF1's.
Why do you think we were asking you about your desire to go with a 14" rim? Yesh..Quote:
