17x8 +35 Enkei RS+M Racing Wheels

I stumbled on these wheels at a vendors site @FT-86speedfactory and for 1000$ these wheels look like a fantastic street/track wheel. They have a simple but elegant design, easy to maintain and they weight 16.1 LBS per wheel makes them super light. Has anyone had any durability issues etc.. with these wheels?

16.1 lb per wheel sounds great..but it is a ugly wheel. The RPF1s look 10x better on the FR-S

Probably right, although you kind of expect it when EVERY other thread has embedded images, or at least a link.

So i prefer Lazy, rather than spoiled

That's not a bad looking wheel.

Remind me of Kosei K1's a bit. Not a bad looking wheel imo.
