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.

I like them. Nice weight reduction too. Our stock wheels are what? about 26# ?

You are right. The stock wheels weigh in at 26.5# a piece.

That is a lot for any wheel, especially a 17x8... I loved the stock Mach wheels and even had DD ones but sold them within a week of getting them.

I am running a Baer brake kit and it doesn't fit under many wheels.

Thanks. Definitely not a normal wheel but it will do what I need it do.

I am coming from BBS wheels so I didn't exactly have a normal Mustang wheel anyway.

I was just getting ready to click the buy button at tire rack for those wheels. Does the 17" version fit over the stock brake comfortably? I think they look pretty awesome man!!! Grats.

Thanks man.

They will fit over the stock brakes easily. The stock brakes will fit under almost any wheel.

These will allow you to upgrading to a big brake kit will require more clearance.

Sorry, not yet.

It is still winter here in MA. I was just without power for 3 days because of a storm. The car definitely can't come out yet.

The tires should be here next week and I will start installing all my parts from the winter. I will make sure to update this thread with pics or a link to pics.
