So I'm looking at a few color options for my enkei rpf1's on my s13 coupe.











If you have any other colors you would like to see, let me know.

Depends on your style. If crazy colors is your syle then go for the Green or Purple.

If you want a clean looking car keep it Silver.But I sure do love Black on Gold....lol

Maybe ill just get another pair of rpf1's... I like them in silver, but still want a pair or two that are a louder color.

Yah its a staggered setup, 17 x 9 up front, 18 x 10.5 in the back. I am looking for silvia oem aero for the car but doubt ill find it, if not its getting a silvia front and possibly origin streamline sides and rear.

Gold rpf1's = YUCK

As said, if you like it low key and "classy" if you will, keep it silver, or do a gray.

If you want something that draws attention, purple or bright green is the way to go.

I'm gonna go ahead and revive this thread due to the recent misfortune of someone attempting to steal my wheels, in the process completely messing one up. So now i have a miss matched set of RPF1's and will have to have them all powder coated to match again.

So i'm looking for more color opinions since ill be having them powder coated in the next week or two. I can also photoshop more colors in if anyone wants to see them, or post your own color opinions.

I'm open to all color ideas.

The car already has origin labs over fenders on all 4 corners so i can fit more tire then i can afford under there .

I have been considering Gold, but have been leaning more towards a louder color.

Oh. I was gonna ask why your 18x10.5+15 looked so sunken... Yeah, the black and gold would be nice for a clean, pimptastic, street car. But if you want more 'drift kid' look, go with something more outlandish. I'm kinda partial to the pink...

Yah im running a fairly large amount of rear camber on there right now...

I'm leaning towards the drift car a little, I like this silver, but there is no point in getting my cars powder coated teh same color again, since having one done only might not match the rest. Worst comes to worse if i dont like it ill just have them re powder coated.

I've kinda narrowed down my color choices.

-Pink-Green-Bronzish Gold

Although im still open to suggestions. I should hopefully have the replacement wheel today or tomorrow, so wheels are going to powder coating early next week. The color decided on in this thread is probably gonna be what im going with lol. I personally cant make up my mind.

Still not clearcoated yet, but thats what they look like so far. The picture doesnt do it justice, they look great in person. Should look pretty sick on my black s13.

Since i took those picture the back end has been lowered with the installation of SPL subframe bushings about a half inch, along with the front to match. Just need a set of links now to correct my negative camber and get everything nice and flush.

I should have the wheels back later this week hopefully.

Awesome. Pink was my second choice for your car. It's gonna look sick. Be sure to whore it out in 240 Gen.

Yah i had one miss matched wheel after the whole attempted theft incident, so i said f it and went with pink. I really didnt want to pay a guy to powder coat them the color they already were, since trying to color match would have been impossible.
