My new shoes!!!!
After looong search , and wide areas of google had been covered for a potential candidates to be worn by my baby benz, i finally have made my decidion. The winner is 17x8" Enkei RPF1 +35 offset. Tire of choice is : Nitto INVO 225/45-17. and accesorries to finish the nice flush look would include 12mm H&R spacers. Wheels weight in at staggering 15lbs :P . Tires are supposed to be 22lbs each.

Tease pic.

Great choice on the rims, ehhh on the tires. Should be a very nice change in unsprung weight.

Love the RPF1's. I'd personally go with 18's though.. the RPF1's IRL look smaller than they are

SICK. The first picture looked like you had a white car and painted the front black.

I've always liked wheels with more rubber, very nice.

Are you going to roll the fenders? Be careful with rubbing just on the inside of the fenders.

I couldnt get good specs and pics looked the same. I talked to some of the coupe guys and you can use the same springs.

Hope that helps
