Default New wheels are in...

Sorry for the crappy pic.

I received my two rears yesterday. These are Enkei RPF1's. Not your normal Mustang wheel I guess.

The fronts are 17x9 and weigh in at 15.9# while the rears are 17x10 and weigh in at 17#.

These are the lightest wheels that can be found short of spending $900+ on each wheel.

Tires will be ordered this week.

Those don't look bad at all. Is the dish the same on the front and back?

Not sure yet but I think it is around the same size. They aren't a dished wheel.

I only have the rears. The fronts ordered but will not ship until early March.

Let me know if you can feel a difference, I always wondered if it would... Doesn't seem like it but my wheels weigh 31lbs rear(18x10 Saleens) with about a 28lb tire so 59lbs is a lot if you think about it. Haha im getting mine tomorrow :P

31# is ridiculously heavy.

It will be hard to let you know if there is a difference though, I will have a big brake kit on race pads that I didn't have before and a different motor.

Those wheels are gonna look sick! When I had my '03 Mach the wheels I always wanted were the BBS plasma RK, but could never afford them. Those would've been second!

Stock motor with 98 Cobra cams, long tubes and slightly bumped CR.

The stock wheels are 26.5# a piece, so the fronts aren't that different but the rears are definitely much heavier.

They are a ricer wheel! haha

I am buying a mount for my roll bar this spring. I will have a lot of auto cross videos and some open track stuff as well.
