Interesting to follow the NA "Show off your rims" thread.
It starts off with a lot of 14's in late 2008 and ends with 17's in early 2011

Also note the progression of prices with some 14's becoming more expensive than 16's as larger sizes become popular and smaller sizes fade away (price a pair of 145/65x12 :shock: )

Not a fan of the black spoked RPF1.


Rumour has it they also come in other flavours. :wink:

These are 15" on my car.

The wheels look great ForceMajeure, what size tyres are they? are they 50 profile?
