Honestly, I'm not really a fan of them. They don't really fit in with the car imo. But it's your car so if you like them then so be it. For a $1k budget, you can pick up a variety of wheels, knock off and real.

If you can get them for one grand or under id get them if you like them. They don't look that bad, They look way better than those multi spoke mesh XXR bull**** wheels that a lot of people slap on their SC's.

I love my real rpf1s and wouldn't trade for any wheel out there. I can honestly feel the performance aspect of the wheels in your steering as well as easier and lighter when you take off!!! This is 18x9.5 +35

I was going to say this exact thing.
I don't mind them either, but you can make almost any wheel look good with a bit of a drop and proper fitment.

You can get real ones that are proven to be super strong for 1300. Now why buy fakes ones for a 1000?
I wouldnt pay 500 for those honestly.
