I did notice actually. My intention was to add my opinion of them having run the predecessors on an STU Integra a decade ago, in a much smaller size of course.

This thread seems to have been dominated by accolades for more mainstream brands like Enkei, 5Zigen and Advan. Although praise for those other brands is well deserved I didn't want the TD's to slip off of anyone's radar.

RPF1 17x9 +22 needs a small spacer up front and barely fits (fender clearance issue) in the rear.

RPF1 17x9.5 +38 needs an 18mm spacer in the front and fits the rear great
RPF1 17x9.5 +18 fits front fine but not the rear

...everything else seems to be either too expansive, way too heavy or no longer available (?)

where's the best place to buy?

I just want an RPF1 in an 17x9 or 17x9.5 that doesnt require spacers, and a 15+ ish offset looks better than any other offset in my book. but nothing beats the volk TE-37 in a 17 size

Do you know any vendors that will sell split offsets?

I seem to think these look quite good for a track only wheel.


I know this particular setup is using a (4) +38s with 20mm spacer up front but shouldn't they be very similar?

How would a 17x9 +30 fit in the front and rear? Looking at getting some TR Motorsports C3's.
