Damn!

Pretty much all top wheel companies paint their wheels not PC, like the Enkei's you bought. At least your car didn't get damaged any other way!

Good fitment on the RPf1's btw

i cracked my nt03s.. they were powdercoated.. powdercoating does indeed weaken the integrity of the wheel.

The spokes shifted...you can very easily tell that they're cracked. The spokes aren't flush anymore either,, they're crooked now. Oh well though, LOVE my RPF1's

Are you going to powder coat your RPF1s?

No they're Matte black, but I must say the paint quality on these wheels is weak, to say the least. The paint comes off VERY easily, so I wasn't happy about that. But they look great nonetheless and I'm just happy that I've got working, safe, and very good looking wheels (IMO)
