And my fender lips are rolled...

Rolling Rim technology means forged like strength. Note that Center Caps NOT included so order them elsewhere on the website if you want them. Takes an optional 75mm METAL hubcentric ring set. Narrow lugs recommended such as our McGard Spline Drive Lugs. This is a great choice for those looking to put down a little wider rubber like 235/40/17s. This SBC finish starts by polishing of the rim (which is why this version is lighter) and finishes with breakthrough technology that has enabled ENKEI to achieve a chrome-looking finish using synthetic coating and cosmetic techniques. Real chrome adds 3 pounds to a wheel this size but SBC delivers a brilliant metal finish without the high maintenance associated with chrome and is used by ENKEI to maintain lightweight characteristics and enhance the finish of these wheels. This Enkei wheel INCLUDES the center caps.
Stock number 60-1150
I'm guessing this wheel includes center cap and first mention is merely canned text that didn't get edited?

Your guess is correct...caps INCLUDED. I just fixed the listing. Thanks,

Now that I have these wheels on my car, how do I go about sending you guys a photo for the gallery? I don't have a host.

1st post....for me anyway!

I'm keen on the RP03 for my 2007 NC. I have two questions which are connected:

1. If I got the 18x7.5's, would the fenders require rolling (or other dramas)?
2. are a 40's profile possible in some tire combination or would you pretty much have to get 35s to preserve the rolling diameter?

That choice would work best with a 225/35/18....which is a perfect stock diameter of 24.3 inches. A 215/40/18 is about a half inch tall.

RP03 17 x 7 - 45 offset, Will 215/45s clear without lipping?

Post by Lab-ratt »

Hi Brian,
Enkei in OZ doesnt seem to stock as much in the way of rim sizes and offsets. I'm looking at fitting RP03s in a 17 x 7 with a 45 offset running 215/45s. I'm looking for better grip and guard filling without the need to lip the rear. The cars a hardtop lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit. What do you think???

Thank you Brian. Handling differences aside between the 17x8 and 18x7.5's, do you think there would be a significant / noticeable difference in road noise/comfort in the 18's vs the 17s? (assuming same tire brand/type to control against that variable)? Ie the profiles 35's vs 40s
