Are RPF1s really the poorman's wheels?
Everyone sees them on your car and just points and laughs saying "You can't afford BBS/Volks/OZ/etc!!!"

they’re the featherweight man’s wheels. hardly anyone buys rpf1’s for the looks alone. they really don’t look great.
I think they look great.

rpf1s are classic, the frick are you smoking dumb frick wrenchlet
They’re a good balance of price and quality. Poor man buys shitty Chinese replicas like Rota that crack when he hits a pot hole..
>Everyone sees them on your car and just points and laughs saying "You can't afford BBS/Volks/OZ/etc!!!"
And? They're good wheels. Konig also makes flow-formed wheels, but they aren't as light. What do you choose?

They're called RIMS.
>The Tire and Rim Association, Inc. (TRA) is the standardizing body for the tire, rim, valve and allied parts industry for the United States. TRA was founded in 1903 and its primary purpose is to establish and promulgate interchangeability standards for tires, rims, valves and allied parts.

>ya i got dem 30 inch riamzzzz
Incorrect, the picture has one RIM, and thus it's a RIM.
A wheel is the full package, rim +valve+tire.
>A wheel is the full package, rim +valve+tire.
False. Wheel is metal. Tire is rubber.
This is correct.
Wrong.
Its the difference between proper nomenclature and colloquial references i.e. the death of the English language.
One is the proper name of an item as defined by a governing body as well as history, the other is a company advertisement that caters to a generation that doesn't know what bathroom to use.
As an example:
>Big Ben is the common name for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster,[1][2] and by extension to the clock tower and the clock itself.[3] The Great Clock of Westminster is a striking clock with five bells.[4] The clock tower is at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England,[5] and was originally known simply as the Clock Tower, but was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
Big Ben
Great Clock of Westminster
Elizabeth Tower.
Go ahead and order a "wheel" for a Boeing 747 or a Bradley and see what gets delivered.
Go frick yourself nerd and learn to talk like a human being.
Don't be upset that you got schooled.
Take it as a learning experience and use it to better yourself.
"Idiocracy" was not suppose to be a documentary but people like yourself are bringing it to fruition.
>Go ahead and order a "wheel" for a Boeing 747
If this thread is alive on monday i'll tell you exactly what the parts are called on a Blackhawk, has stated in the parts catalog
>tfw it's monday
>Go ahead and order a "wheel" for a Boeing 747 or a Bradley and see what gets delivered.
You'd get a wheel, the non-powered wheels on a tank/AFV are called "road wheels." Aircraft wheels are also called wheels.
A wheel is a complete assembly, thus why tracked vehicles refer to them as wheels.
What's the matter, afraid to post the Bradley or 747 nomenclature and have to resort something completely unrelated?
Sit down and be humble
You're wrong though you autistic homosexual. The rim is the outside part of the wheel, that has the bead and the valve. The tire attaches directly to the rim. The entire metal part is the wheel, which consists of the hub, the spokes, and the rim.
>disc
>hubcap is also called rim
Great sources you fricking moron.
Once again....
The actual GOVERNING BODY THAT DEFINES THESE COMPONENTS CALLS IT A RIM.
Anything else is by definition incorrect.
No matter what other sources you use, they're wrong.
Period.
End of discussion.
The governing body in question is concerned with the standardization of tires and rims because the rim is the part of the wheel that the tire locks to, and thus needs to be interoperable with a tire. They do not refer to the entire wheel as a rim, because it isn't. You hallucinated that fact because you have a defective brain. Nothing on those websites implies that anyone at those organizations thinks a wheel is called a rim.
Lol.
It's not just the mounting surface they standardize. It's also the width, drop well, thickness for valve stem and lugnuts.
Go ahead and screen cap where they use the term "wheel".
I'll wait.
In the meantime be sure to post more random search engine results that were programmed by third worlders who have never seen a car.
Ok here's the actual technical definitions published by YOUR SOURCE:
>Wheel
>A rotating load carrying member between the tyre and the axle, usually consisting of two major parts, the rim and the wheel centre.
>Rim
>That part of the wheel on which the tyre or tyres and tube assembly is mounted and supported
Can't wait to see what cope your absolutely defective brain comes up with next
It literally says:
>Main Rim COMPONENTS
And then lists all the individual aspects of A RIM.
You just btfo yourself.
Good job.
Next time perhaps you should actually READ what you post.
Fricking moron.
Yeah, that's not part of the technical definitions idiot. The document you're looking at says that what is colloquially referred to as a rim is technically called a wheel,
>"not part of the technical definitions"
>literally posts the technical definitions section
You're a special kind of moron.
Yeah the header of the page isn't part of the definitions.
It says there a wheel consists of two parts, the wheel centre and the rim which the tyre mounts to. They're the European tyre and rim technical organisation. See if you can figure out why all their documentation would be refering to rims given that. Or you can cope some more and try to explain why you think a wheel is a component of a rim.
>Literally says a wheel is a component of a rim
>b-but that's not what they mean!!!
Hahahahhahahahahahahaha
Fricking moron
says a wheel is a component of a rim
>Wheel: ... usually consisting of two major parts, the rim and the wheel centre.
>Rim: That *part of the wheel* on which the tyre ... is mounted
Looks to me like they're giving context to which part of the wheel they're defining the rim to be. Maybe you should trying reading it again, having a little think about what it says and working on your comprehension skills.
>Definitions: RIMS
>Main RIM Components
It doesn't say "definition of wheel"
It doesn't say "wheel components"
You have been blown the frick out with every post.
Do you actually speak English or do you post through Google translate?
Fricking moron.
>Wheel: ... usually consisting of two major parts, the rim and the wheel centre.
>Rim: That *part of the wheel* on which the tyre ... is mounted
Please explain how you think a wheel can be a component of a rim but a rim is also a part of a wheel. You can draw a little diagram if you think that would help.
Just incase you try to delete your pic.
Ah yes, I also buy my wheels with lug nuts and valve stems preinstalled.
You find me another sub 4.5kg, 15x7 wheel i can buy for just over 200 burgers each. Also i have seen maybe another 10 cars since i bought these five years ago and none had my bronze colour
>sub 4.5kg, 15x7 wheel
>you're just settling
Nah, I've got some TE's. 15x6.5 at 3.9kg and 15x8 at 5kg. But running Wats for the look.
>Nah, I've got some TE's
Well I'm not talking about you then am I? Even though a $600 set of baby TEs hardly counts as a flex.
RPF1 hate is a generational thing. For those who were into the car hobby when the latest design hit the market, we had to sit through years of everyone putting them on their car, making everything look the same. The same thing happened with FN01Rc before then, and with Work CR-kais after. For the younger guys, all of these are "cool old wheels" and don't carry the same stigma.
I was quoting the weights of my TE's as an example of 'lauded' wheels, which aren't much lighter than RPF1's. Got the 15x6.5 because they were lightand high quality. Admit I got the 15x8 MTE37SL's thinking about the looks though. Flexing aside, RPF1's are a great wheel, as are TE37's.
nice reps in that pic
>nice reps in that pic
Reps of Minilites? Before buying I checked out their offerings, but didn't find suitable sizes and offset for me. Realize that Wats aren't the greatest. They're cast and a B-tier wheel. But rhat's the old school style I was looking for.
Konig Helium. Comes in Bronze, White, and Black
They're not 'poor mans wheels'. People who are poor shouldn't buy aftermarket wheels. Because if the do, they're just trying to virtue signal that they're more wealthy than they are. Keeping them poor. RFP1's are a quality product at a economical price. Based.
>RFP1's are a quality product at a economical price. Based.
price shouldn't be a factor when buying something completely unnecessary. you're just settling
Fact. The only real upgrade to those wheels for serious track drivers would be some sort of center-lock lightweight racing wheel.
depends, are you at the track? no, half the people there are using rpf1's or other cheap but good enough wheels
or are you at the local cars n coffee with all the boomers and zoomer car scene instagrammers? yeah, you probably will get laughed at
tiktok kids like to dunk on them because they're the best priced/most common lightweight performance wheel. "looks basic i see them on every build" is the only real criticism they get. personally i think they look fine, and getting reps because you like how they look is moronic. frankly, anything type of aesthetic modification that is supposed to look like a performance upgrade is some moronic ricer behavior.
>aesthetic modification that is supposed to look like a performance upgrade
Ya do realize that's 95% of aesthetic mods right
They’re for dumb, ignorant, cone racers. SSR has lighter wheels for the same price in a wider variety of options that are still made in japan.
SSR wheels are like $500+ each what the frick are you talking about you delusional homosexual
No they aren’t. I just bought a (new) set of four for around $750. Importers might still be gouging you there, so use a forwarding service. Costs about $200 to ship wheels to the US.

kek. Even the NA Miata came with 5.5" wide rims
That’s just the first link I found. I bought 17x8’s. You can search on YAJ yourself, but you’re a dumb Hispanic so you’ll continue to get price gouged.
Fool was used in the literal sense above. Imagine being a racist 5'8" minority.
Are these for trailer tires?
RPF1s are for "men" with little dicks who like to copy others. Choose another wheel already, homosexuals, there's so many cheap light weight wheels to choose from so muh weight savings isn't an excuse. Even within Enkei's own product line, there's other choices as light weight and as cheap.
no
Oh wow, another [insert car] with RPF1s, what an inter-zzzzzzzzzz
Visual and automotive ambien
Post your own car with aftermarket wheels then. Show us your leadership.
I will not post my car for obvious reasons. I don't need to in order to make a point. NT03s look much better than RPF1s at about the same price point and about the same weight, although they are a bit heavier, but not noticeably so. RPF1s are homosexual and make the wheel look 1 size smaller than it is, something about the design, I don't know what it is.
>will not post my car for obvious reasons
Because we may criticize it? Post my cars on here regularly. Some people hate on pic related. Who cares?
I swear wheel geeks are one of the most moronic groups in car culture. All this pedantic arguing over what to name the parts of a wheel, posting infographics about the parts of a single cast piece that has like three machined areas.
Worry about something that matters.
>even-numbered spokes
Bus riders really come up with the weirdest criticisms.
I bet you have black wheels too. Ugly frick.
They're a little dated nowadays. There are a ton of cheaper rotary forged wheels at a similar weight from decent companies now.
such as?
Half of Konig's recent releases.
Being 'dated' also means they're 'classic' looking
im in europe and these are 500 euros a rim
OZ superlleggeras are like half the price
>BBS
Is it still possible to buy BBS wheels ? I struggle to find a place that have the gold ones.
yes it's easy

>Autists arguing over the definition of rims v. wheels.
I've been driving ricer cars for 10 years and I've never seen someone get mocked for the wheels they use. Except one time someone commented on my 13's looking like go-kart wheels but they were on a turbo'd road legal go-kart so I wasn't hurt.
>RPF1s poorman's wheels
beyond the side arguments that were in this thread.
yes.
