New wheels are in...

Sorry for the crappy pic.

I received my two rears yesterday. These are Enkei RPF1's. Not your normal Mustang wheel I guess.

The fronts are 17x9 and weigh in at 15.9# while the rears are 17x10 and weigh in at 17#.

These are the lightest wheels that can be found short of spending $900+ on each wheel.

Tires will be ordered this week.

They are def light john but can they hold up on the ave street driving or should I say the above average pothole amount on our awesome roads of new england? They look sweet and can't wait to see them on the car.

As far as I know, they should hold up. I know someone personally that ran these wheels in 18" and they were fine.

Great looking wheel choice

I was nervous you were going to go for those Kosei K1 wheels that everyone gets which I think are ugly. The ones you pick look nice and you see those on a lot of top end cars.

What tires are you going with?

I am planning on Kumho Ecsta XS or the new Nitto NT05.

The Kumho is the top street tire for autocross now but the people I know that have run this tire in the rain have complained about traction on course. It will be fine on the street but I am referring to strictly on course. I have read some reviews by people that have run the Nitto on track and they have been good.

I am interested in taking the plunge into the NT05 for auto cross and track. I know that it is a great tire for the street but I would like to see it on course.

Last year, I was competitive in class and I was on horrible tires (heat cycled way too many times) and in my father's car rather than mine. I am hoping that with some sticky tires and a car that is much more set up, that I will be even more competitive.

I have a target for this season and I am hoping that I can take him at least once. He is a ridiculously consistent driver and knows what he is doing when it comes to driving. He can usually jump in someone else's car and run a similar or quicker time than them.
