95% sure they won't clear the brembos. The 7.5 wide is what will kill it.

Alt? I do believe they make the Miro Wheels. It would be comparable to a Rota but not sure who has the better quality. I have seen both wheels crack in half before.

I mean the rims look sweet especially in that powdercoated blue. But are they worth it for 6lb heavier a rim? Worth the trade for the bbs?
I would not trade your BBS wheels straight up for those. Those are Rota quality wheels and go for about 1k new. I picked up a set of SSR Type F wheels for 1100 with tires. So my suggestion would be to wait and find some nicer wheels for trade dont loose the BBS's.
Also that's 6lbs per corner of un sprung weight..... that is not going to help performance in any way.... i

I need to find a deal like that asap. Ive wanted RPF1s for a long time now.

Thats a great downside. At least they hold up. Ive never seen or heard of anything negative about the RPF1s.
My OZ wheels weight 14.7 pds, and took 3 months to get from Italy. Top notch.
Anything forged will compare to the BBS's. Stay away from the caste wheels as they weight quite a lot more and are only for looks. Also I personally do not like the look of the RPF1's as they used to be over played in the honda scene before the herra frush thing hit.
Also don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with a set of cheap knock off Chinese shit wheels. Just don't trade higher quality BBS wheels for a lower quality product unless you are getting a good amount of cash along with. Personally I would just wait and save up so you can put some nice forged units on the car.
@JJ- Fuck you...... I wish I could afford a set of O.Z. but my broke ass is struggling to make rent and my car payment right now.

Meat Product Toy
O.Z.
SSR
ADVAN
Volk and some others under the Rays Engineering brand
To name a few off the top of my head.
Some manufacturers like O.Z. use certain types of casting that can yield results comparable to forging.
Basically good quality wheels demand higher prices. Your gonna pay to play!
Look for my wheel and tire tech in the next week or so. I have been working on a guide for the last few days. I hope to at least have a partial this weekend!
