Anyone seen RPF1's

[bnoon]

I had the RPF1's in 17x9 on my Mazdaspeed 3 and they were only 15.4 pounds each. The 18x8 are only about 18 pounds each and I was thinking about getting some in either 18 or 19 inch. Anyone seen any pics of a Flex with some?

I have 18" x 9" TSW Interlagos that are Rotoforged.  They weigh just over 18 lbs.  I ran Nitto 05 Drag Radials on the front at the strip... They weigh almost 30 lbs, and as a Daily Driver, I have Michelin Pilot Super Sports, which as a package weigh aroun 43 lbs a wheel, which is 20 lbs a wheel less than the stock 20's... Really helps mileage ( better than stock, even though the tires are 8% smaller diameter), helps performance, and the Michelin's are the best handling tire I have ever used on any vehicle...
'2014 Corvette comes stock with them!

Wheels were around $250. ea at Discount Tire, with their incentives.

Tires came from TireRack, but Discount has them and with free install, would likely be cheaper.  The Michelin's are 235-50-18"  (27.3" tall) and are about $235. each including shipping.  Love-em!

Yeah the first light wheels i ever had experience with were some old school Work wheels i jad on my first car, a 76 Chevette with a 2.3 from a Vega in it. They were 15x6 and weighed less than 12 pounds! Had 180 horse with that built 2.3 but the wheels still made a nice difference way back then. Got 38 mpg with it too driving it foot to floor every stop sign LOL!
