I thought about these wheels as well. If these wheels didn't weight as much as they did I would have bought them already. I'm sure if they were in the 15lbs range they wouldn't be 150 a piece but rather 250-300 a piece.
Pros:can get in 17x7.5 which is rare for a 4 lug bolt pattern in a quality wheel to be wider than 7 inches. heavier 1 piece wheels are usually stronger than lighter 1 piece wheels. comes with centercaps stock.
Cons:the 17 inch wheel damn near weighs 21 pounds.
I'm getting the black rpf1's myself and tossing 20 pounds off the stock wheels alone

My Enkei Ammodos are 42mm offset 17x7.5 as well. There are some pictures here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...756-post7.html and on the rest of that thread.

I see 'scottyblue' recently installed these wheels:

These wheels work out great! The +42 offset is ideal in my opinion for a 17x7.5 wheel. I would not call these an aggressive offset at all. Maaaybe 5-6 mm further out than stock. The weight is right around 20 lbs, as well. The 205/45 tires work, but if I were to do it over again, I'd probably go for 215/45's solely because the wheel design exposes the spokes a bit.
I'll post some pics once I can get them clean (snow and salt here is horrendous right now). The look is perfect, though, and the price is ideal.

Unless you're tracking or auto x'ing, those RPF1's are a waste for 5 lbs per wheel at twice the price.
Plus, I can enjoy a commute knowing that I can afford to replace a $150 wheel if anything goes awry AND I get free centercaps!
Been there, done that, with light MAT Enkei wheels. I had a coveted set of RC-T4's on an old Subaru before I got into MINIs and I can't take the stress of putting gorgeous, expensive wheels to regular use.
