Well putting my wheels up for sale. Decided I don't need 2 sets of wheels living in VA, so I am keeping my winter wheels because I currently need as much money as possible and these are worth more, so they have to go. Details:

Enkei Silver RPF1
17x7 +43
Optional Carbon Fiber Centercaps
Blue aluminum Valve Stems
14.9lbs according to internet
205/45/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE01R's (Very Sticky!)
Hub Rings for Mini included

Wheels are in great condition and no bends or cracks. There is one small blemish on one wheel and it's from the wheel rubbing on the tow truck side while being unloaded You can barely see it when you're standing next to the wheels, but it's there. Other they that, they're in fantastic shape.

Tires have about 10k miles on them, front ones worn slightly more then rear, but they do not appear to have any cupping or camber wear. I stay up to date with my alignments fairly well.

I'm asking $850 OBO for set. I live in Norfolk, VA 23513. I can meet up within a reasonable distance, and I will ship, but buyer will pay all shipping and it probably won't be cheap.

Pics... the one showing the blemish is the only real blemish on the wheels!

How noticable was the weight difference vs the stock wheels?

I'll be honest here, when I put these on, I did multiple upgrades at the time so it's hard to say exactly how much difference they made. I will say though, I went from SLites with Run flats, which I hated just lifting off the wheel hub and moving to the side, to these and wow.

I can't comment on handling because I installed Koni Yellow's at the same time and a HSport comp rear sway bar, but initial acceleration felt much better and much smoother. Once rolling on the highway I didn't notice too much of a difference in power charachteristics.

My MPG's went up a little, think I averaged 1.5-2 mpgs more after the initial romping on it stopped. And obviously the ride was much improved as you expect from ditching the run flats.

I mean I'm no expert and I don't really track my car, but I really like the wheels, just financially can't keep them.
