Need some help finding wheels.

No way to tell if they fit the same as the rpf1’s? So we only know that the rpf1’s will fit then right? I don’t think I want to gamble. I wish there was a way to find out, be nice to run 35 in the front and 45 in the back to give me extra clearance. But if you can’t find out for me, I can’t be ordering a set that might not fit.

Wheelin & dealing! man this thread woulda been shut down a long time ago on AZ :slight_smile:

I’d also suggest the 245/35-18’s, it should help you’re rear end issue as well as give you a slight edge with the gearing & weight. Just something to think about. I’m running 30 profile on 18 for track, but only 225 (best I could find) so traction is an issue haha.

They should fit, don’t see why not. If not I’ll take them back and exchange them for rpf1s

Thanks to Demetri for taking time to find me the right wheels at the right size and for a good price. I definitely do not want to choke him. So much easier and less stressful to get along like this and help eachother out.

^Common hatred for someone (TiAL bitches) else often bring people together.

Also, any thought on running a lower profile tire than 40?

I need as much sidewall as possible for racing, a 45 would be best, but that’s unrealistic. We’ll make it work if we have to fender roll a bit. Thabks

Go for the RPF1’s. I have been searching for a light, strong, and affordable wheel for pretty much forever and i always end up with the RPF1. Tons of options if you have $3000 burning a hole in your pocket, but you cant beat the enkeis for the value

Gotcha, just didn’t know. I know you’ve probably tried about everything at the track!

I think you’ll be happy with the RP1’s, I bought 91’s old set b/c he wanted to change it up, then he went and bought another set b/c he liked them the most still haha. They really are sharp looking wheels and not too many people in the audi scene with them so they actually kinda pop some. (and yes, I know I need spacers for them)

I went with the newer LPF1’s, they are designed to fit well with big brakes, so I’m hoping to get away with a 45 et all around. They are only .4 lbs heavier, and I think they’re a little classier looking than that rpf1’s which are more of a Motorsport wheel style. Let’s see how they work out. Thanks for the pic, the car looks real nice.

Ahhh, my bad. Yea those new ones do look pretty killer, and they have a different appeal to them. At first I hated the look of the RPF1 like mine, but then seeing them on the right car they grew on me. And once I saw them in person, it was hook line & sinker!

yea I’m not a huge fan of the RPF1’s, I like the PF01’s a little better… I honestly am just looking for an affordable wheel that will fit over my brakes and fit my tires… The look I’m not being very picky with, but I prefer the PF’s out the two wheels I think, on my car at least.

LPF1? What the hell is that?

Madison those pics of your car are what made me decided on the RPF1’s

haha, thanks. Trust me, I was very skeptical, and even was regretting it as 91 was shipping them to me. Then once I pulled them out of the box (and was SHOCKED by the weight difference), they looked great and knew I’d be very happy.

And I think he means the PF1’s that BR & Dan both went to. Great looking wheel, but they just have a different feel. I’m not sure which one I like more actually.

The post right above you says PF01, was it that hard too figure out? lol… Sorry, like I said I’m not a wheel guy, never was… I have a custom set of DPE’s sitting in my garage, I despise them with the valve stems mounted on the barrel of the rim towards the inside… I had to get flush mount screw in valve stems, I pretty much have to take my wheels off to add or let out air with those wheels… The PEE EFF OH ONES are a few lbs lighter than my
dpe’s, 10+lbs lighter than the b6 s4 wheels I ran my 116@126mph on… It’ll be nice to free up 40lbs at least of unsprung weight. :wink:

^Pics of the DPE’s for the wheel guys?

dan from JHM runs PF01s on his B7 RS4. 18x??. RS4s have some pretty big brakes.

p.s. I also thought LPF1 was a new wheel by Enkei after reading your post…so I google image searched it and got this.

I have almost new PF01’s for sale, 17x8 et35 with almost new 245-45-17 evo v12 tires.

Just thought I would throw it out there, a bbk is over rated, go back to stock.

How much (do those weigh)…and how much do you want

With the huge tires on there, they are just over 43lbs each. In a perfect world, I would like 1000 shipped. I payed just over 1500 for this setup.

That’s what his FB page showed (he could have changed by now though):

PF01s, 18x9.5, ET35, 5x114.3 Redrilled to 5x112, ~19.5lbs

Toyo R888 Tires, 265-35-18, ~26lbs(New)

And I think BR went with the same ones, as I recall, they ordered both sets at the same time and both arrived at JHM together.
