Thread: Opinions on these wheels

    Default Opinions on these wheels

    I'm in the process of trading my slipstreams for some enkei rp-f1's.

    I was going to put the slipstreams on the gti but i thought they may look too "bling bling" on it. So I found someone that has some 15x7 rp-f1's that wants to trade.

    what are everyone's opinions of these wheels? i know they weigh less than 10 lbs, and what i have read they seem pretty strong.

    does anybody here have them?

    I had a set of them as track wheels in '03. I liked them a lot - light, strong, and not bad looking. If you're making a straight up trade of the Slipstreams for those, you're making out like a bandit.

    BTW, shuhart1 decided to do a little stress testing on the set I owned - they stood up to an MSR mishap pretty darn good.

    I ended up selling them to a friend of mine when I went back to racing in C Stock.

    Those wheels just don't do it for me on the Miata. Look awesome on the GTI though!
