Enkei RPF1
So I'm contemplating my next rim set up and was just wondering what y'all thought of putting Enkei RPF1's in 19x9.5 +22 245/35/19 and 19x10 +22 275/35/19. My car is liquid platinum... Just going for a more functional set up next. 20's with 30 series tires are killing me. My car is pretty low so I think it will be a good fit. Pic of the rim for some imagination
I have the Enkei RPF1's on my car. Got them a month or so ago. I have them in 18 x 8.5 all around with a +30 offset. Here are some pictures:
My standing acceleration is much improved, my freeway acceleration is improved and my MPG is better. Like 3-4 mpg better. I think with wheels and tires I dropped 12-13 pounds of unsprung weight per corner.

245/45/18 all around (OEM size for the rear). I am not a fan of staggered setup because you can't rotate them and tires ain't cheap.
Besides, there is really no reason to stagger other than looks and weight, and these wheels are 18.3 lbs each. So I increased the front size to match the back.

I'm pretty sure they were 27+ in the rear and 26+ in the front. I had gone up to 20 x 9 Vossens, which weigh 58+ lbs with tires on them (I know, I weighed them).
The Enkei's, with Hankook V12 tires, are 45+. The Michelin PSS would save me 3 more pounds.
If you're looking to lose unsprung weight, but don't want to spend 1k a wheel... the RPF1's are a great, affordable wheel. Admittedly, I really liked the look of the Vossen's over the Enkei's, and so did a lot of my friends, but I'm DRIVING my car, not looking at it.
