Image wise im a fan of the rotas... but in the real world im a fan of function over flare. so i would have to say if your looking to get good times then find a set of lighter wheels that tickle your fancy. sounds as if you did that with the enkies so i would say go there.

so in my mind its hard to make an official choice.

it stands as this....

looks---Rota

function---Enkie

IMO... but thats all it is. and everyone knows opinions arent facts
 
Unsprung weight is unsprung weight.

Its no brainer for me, go with the lighter rim. You will find many of us on here are in the "function" department and not the "fashion" department.

If its solely based on looks, the only person who it matters to you, is you, so choose a rim you like and be happy.:thumb:
 
Legit brand or copy's

Shouldn't be a hard choice really. Seen so many sets of rota's collapse on themselves, never heard of it happening to an Enkei
 
concave grids would look sweet! RPF1s I feel are so played out especially in the evo world
 
I would go with the grids because of the price difference personally. In terms of looks, both great looking wheels, but two completely different styles.

I agree here but to me I would also be comparing the price difference
 
If you do that, compare the quality difference, too. :)
 
Damn it! I won't be the only 2g with blue rims anymore. LOL I prefer the thicker spoke, but as said already, choose what YOU like. I also agree that size/offset is not going to clear very well.

RPF1 all the way, they look more aggressive to me and they are lighter and if you're gonna be doing more track driving then get those!
 
I didn't read the other posts, so idk if it's already been said, but both are very played out now a days. However, the rpf1s are much better quality than the rotas. That being said, I admit I like both of them, but from a quality stand point, I'd go with the rpf1s.
