Pic of my Enkei RPF1 for those interested.
These are Enkei RPF1 with Yok's advan 032R s-compound 245/40. Both tire and rim weigh in at 39lbs!
The stock lugs will not fit so I hope the small Diameter spline open end lugs nuts will.
These rims should clear the rears since they clear the front brakes.
Size of this rim is 17 X 8 +35mm offset.

If they clear the front, you are golden for the rears. Mine clear the fronts only with 3mm spacers, but have loads of space in the rear with no spacers.
Nice rims, do they have centercaps? And yep, the lug thing is a pain, I have to carry the stock set to autocross events with the rims/tires, as the RPM2s use the spline type tapered ones and won't work with the stock rims.

You should have no problem picking up some Enkei center caps from local discount tire center. Make sure you check the size for fitting tho, cuz they come in different sizes. Lug nuts for Evo is 12mm X 1.5

Discount Tire sent center caps, hubcentric rings, and the spline type tapered lugs with the rims. The centercaps are flat, and attach with a pair of allen screws (Enkei included allen wrenches, 13/16" 3/8" drive sockets, and metal air fittings with each wheel, anyone need a couple spare sockets/allen wrenches? heh)
I did pay the $35 for the wheel lug kit from Discount, not sure how many of the extras were included in that.

Using an allen wrench you can take them off from the outside. Overall I am very impressed with the weight/design/quality of the RPM2 rims. They are identical to the Enkei rims on the Evo VII, but with a hyperblack finish, and black painted inside. So I got a wide cool looking rim, which doesn't show brake dust...

I've got some RPF1's on the way. What lug nuts did you end up using? What style of seat is on the RPF1 wheels (conical, ball, flat)? The pictures I've seen of the RPF1 on Enkei's web site look like a flat seat, and so does the picture you posted of your wheel sitting on the hub.
So perhaps 12mm diameter, 1.5mm pitch, with a flat seat? Preferably forged aluminum.

Anyone know what the rims alone weigh? Also, what did you pay for them? I can't find them on the Discount Tire web site. Thanks.
