Yesterday, I saw these at the tirerack (which will start carrying them in Feb) and they are nice:



Remind me a little of the OZ Ultraleggra(sp?) but w/ more spokes (which I like better). They are Racing Series so they should be nice and light, too.

Specs:

* 15-spoke style
* One-piece, cast construction, MAT Process
* Screw-down, open-lug cap
* Manufactured in Japan
* Sizes 17x7, 17x8, 18x7.5, 18x8

Those are pretty sexy!

Very cool looking wheels.

Fixed!

Yeah, they are a pretty penny.

I've always liked the looks of many spokes (all the way back to before the supraleggras and bbs rk's and such)

but cleaning 10k+ spokes? FAIL.

It's a damn shame too, cause they're just so... pretty.

^ Thats why I went with the classic 5 star wheel. So damn easy to clean.

So it takes a minute or two longer to clean per wheel. Big deal. That is all part of the fun in the meditation ritual of cleaning (making pretty) your ride

Yeah, just what you need Will, more attention.

The $395 for the 17" x 8" seems a bit much (not that $365 for 17" x 7" is a bargain) At least they're pretty light at 17.5 lbs for the 17" x 7".
But with the Enkei Racing RPF1 17" x 7.5" weighing only 15lbs each and only costing $235. I think I know where my money would be going.

Looks be damned, I'm a weight weenie.
Especially when they're 2 lbs and $130 bucks cheaper!

I am not getting these wheels, I just like them. The WRB color of my forester is more than adequate and gathering attention all on its own regardless of what wheels I put on it.

Yeah, I have a gold set of 18x8 RPF1s waiting to go on my ride in March (that is when I swap out my winter wheels/tires).

If I were to pick up the RS05s, I would wait until a clearance/closeout to get them for cheap.

My next wheels need to be 8.5 wide....
