Default something different :D

I started a thread sometime ago to see if anyone has these wheels on the our cars, currently none on the forum so i thought i can give it a try i have 2 sets of wheels right now but the cr-kai is all over the forum so i put these on today,
my car is not low enough right now, but i will lower more when i receive my coilovers. the wheels are pretty racey on Hondas im scared that they won't look good on the IS,but i think they are ok, just look a bit small,once i lower more should be ok. thanks for looking guys

my cr-kai:


here is the new wheels, they are Enkei rpf-1

CR-Kai's look better imo, even though there are quite a few on the board with them. maybe that drop will make it more appealing.

I like this new setup more than your old one. Suggestions: lower more and tire shine. One more, that blue valve cap seems outta place.

Sizes and offsets of wheels? They look good better than the first set.

Keep those CR-Kai wheels. The Enkei's look tiny on the IS.
