As the title suggested, I would like to know if Enkei RPF1 15 inch will fit MCS R53 without any problem.

Car is standard brake and the only thing i am buying the RPF1 is the weight, as some people have suggested Enkei RPF1 is not the most attractive wheel out there.

Would be great if someone can point me in the right direction and pictures would be excellent.

Thanks once again

 

Should fit fine... all i can add lol

 

woops double

 

As long as the brakes are stock size, and you arent trying to stuff 15X8 or wider wheels they should fit witout a problem. You can go wide but tires need clearance too. The person to ask would be Rally at Stance Design. there is a good thread on wide wheels mostly 15s called ROLL CALL 8" WIDE, use the search button.

Also check out the RPF-1 Type 2, it has a not so Japaneese look.

 

Type 2's I believe

 

I really like the PF01s 1lbs heavier but pretier.

 

For the 15" RPF1, you need to do a little modification. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-on-a-mcs.html

 

The PF01 looks tantalizingly good might consider that...

 

Thanks for the instruction on how to fit RPF1.... looks quite tricky to modified the suspension part... but anyway thanks guys for the suggestion.

I'll post some pics when I decide on wheels hopefully soon

 

PF01 sounds like it might fit the R53 JCW calipers, since they say the wheels were designed to fit bigger brake set-ups. I am considering 15x8 PF01s, just having some financial dillemas ala tickets, insurance, deductibles, scratch removal and some paintless dent removal work needed to be done. But next month should be better.

 

After much deliberation I have decided not to try the RPF1, instead I have narrowed down to Volk RE30 or Work Emotion CR kai or Volk TE 37. What do you guys think?

Thanks

 

TE37's are sick and have been around for years.

 

^ forgive me for the crappy pics but here's my former R50 on 15" TE37 repainted gunmetal. just to give you an idea how it'll look like (FWIW, the R50's lowered on Eibach pro-kit springs & rolling on AD07 195/55R15)

 

that looks sick!

 

how do these tires/wheels effect the ride?

Right now my car is lowered and on 17's with stock sized tires (non runflat) and its a little too jarring for me...

I dont need the best handling but would still like to have better then average...

Would jumping down to a 15" wheel with more rubber give me a softer ride?

 

What size tire do you have now?

Generally, yes, but it all depends on tire size.
