Guys, im looking for a new set of wheels for my CW ek9.
I was looking for a set of enkei rpf1, but today i ran into a set of classic RP-01 enkeis in white with blue lettering at a reasonable price, but im not sure of how thw car would look.

I would like the opinion on these wheels, and if someone has a pic of a cw ek9 would be great!!!!!!!!.

I have them and I love them on my Civic. And of course I have them because I like them, but I get lots of compliments too :D
 
if theres no pics, could someone photoshop a CW ek9 with white rp-01´s?
 
RPF1's all day! I have set myself. It's a lighter and stronger wheel than the RP01. The 15" RPF1's may have trouble with brake clearance on the EK9 without spacers. 16" you would be OK.
 
Im about to pick the RP-01´s, right now theyll go for U$350 , and i cant find locally another nice set of 5x114 wheels a good price. The RPF1 would cost me about U$1100, so theres a lot of difference and im pretty sure the white RP01´s will look great in the CW EK9. Theyre for sure not as light as the RPF1 but theyre not too heavy.

My only question is that the wheels are 16x7 and +35 offset. Will i have problems with 205/45 wheels?
 
Im running Rp-01s in that same size & offset, they clear brakes easily, including 282's, and dont rub on my arches, but I am running stock EK9 suspension. So depending on what suspension height your running you should be ok.

The front tyres of that size stick out from the lip of the wheel arch by a few mm though. Rears will be fine.

Ive had no probs on this set up since running them for the last few months
