manderson Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just bought a car and need wheels. Which wheels are yall having good luck with? I have a 2006 and am putting Brembo brakes on it. Recommendations for solid and reasonably priced wheels? Thanks Michael Anderson Raleigh, NC / Mid Atlantic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laze1 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Many folks run the Enkei RPF1, with 20 MM spacers all around here is a very good deal on some.... viewtopic.php?f=90&t=99797 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderson Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Do the spacers allow you to run 275's all the way around or do you run 245 on the front? Are the spacers just for clearance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laze1 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 You have to run the Spec Tire in all 4 positions.... 16.2 Tires a) The 275/35R18 BFGoodrich g-Force™ R1™ tire is the specified tire for the series. Optionally, the 275/35R18 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A™ KDW may be used for wet weather competition. And yes, the spacers are primaily to make the RFP1 clear the Brembo calipers. Other wheels may not need 20MM spacers to clear the calipers...like OEM for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro#05 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Consider the RP-03 Enkei, slightly more weight but does not require spacer and is a very strong wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laze1 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Agreed...more fender clearance as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philstireservice Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Consider the RP-03 Enkei, slightly more weight but does not require spacer and is a very strong wheel. We have the best price on the RP03 also..... Not too mention will have 20mm spacers available very soon. Two other very good choices are the TSW NurburgringRF or InterlagosRF......

dmdirks Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 +1 for the TSW Interlagos. Fairly inexpensive and fit great on the Z. I use the 18x9 all the way around with 10mm hubcentric spacers from Z1 Motorsports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laze1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Interesting Info from my Wheel Supplier: "I had a long conversation with Enkei sales manager Friday. He said that if Spec Z guys use RP03, then there is no need for spacers and RP03 wheels are stronger than RPF1. 18x9+18, 18x10+10. Although the RPF1s are lighter, but since 20mm spacers are needed, pretty much about the same weight. Currently in stock." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
