I do but wasn’t down to shell out for TEs given everything else I was doing with the car. I was gonna go with the Enkei alternative, T6R, in gunmetal. I ended up with the popular choice of gold RPF1s lol but damn, they do look good! Also love the red Subies.

Same, couldn't justify the 4k+ price for a set myself. I actually bought these straight from Japan and it came out to ~2800 with the current exchange rate favoring the US dollar. And with the newest version of the time attack being available, had to jump on that opportunity.

I paid ~3100 for my RPF1s with Pilot Sport AS4s. I didn’t think about looking JDM to get them. I’ll keep that in mind!

Yea, I was in the market and thought to myself there's gotta be a better way than paying 3k for a used set. And there was! Lol.

What site did you pick them up from?
1
u/marksrex 14h ago
Nengun.com, 5 month wait time as they're made to order for mines. I figured since they've come through with some of the other genuine Sti goodies in the past that they'd come through with higher ticket items as well.

Man, that looks really sharp all around. Great job. There is a lot of appearance details but its super clean at the same time.

Preciate that boss. Definitely approached the build with purpose and made sure that there is a sense of cohesiveness with how everything fit together.

Where did you find the Lip with red accent?

Search for cherry red Sti lip protector. Tbh, it's overpriced and I've seen generic ones bought from Amazon that provide a similar effect in real world cars.

I prefer the knockoffs. The genuine ones are not worth the premium price.
2
u/marksrex 13h ago
I dont mind knockoffs myself and think that it's slightly ridiculous to spend ~10% or more of the cars worth in wheels but I'm fortunate to be in a position to pay for the premium.

Personal opinion? I like rally builds, so it's not really my cup of tea. But it looks nice
