I use normal rims but good tyres....lol

If have to choose/prioritize, then yes tire first, rims second. Last time my (new) tires also cost more than my (used) rims even though already very good rims.

Yup, both of my old cars are having 2nd hand rims, much cheaper but cannot have much choices, but they do look good and matching on their respective cars. See if can find some pictures.....lol

Original one, lightweight... how light it is? i never weigh any rim, so no idea

so, how much the weight difference between lightweight and normal rim? just wondering

i dont have the figure but long time ago a friend installed a set of rpf1 on his Strean RN5.

To describe the weight, i will gladly catch it if u throw the rim at me and wont drop it.Maybe even with the ire installed...hahaha

Last time at the time I bought my Advanti storm 15" rims they were 4.6kg per piece which is considered light by normal standards. The shop had the original Enkei RPF1 and it was even lighter. My butt guestimate per rim I think is 2.8kg per piece. It was that light!

Yeah, i agree, better get good tyres first before rim. But in my case, cannot get good tyre for my 14" rim, so need to get both rim n tyres then. Maybe it is good idea to get secondhand original rpf1 so can save some money then use it for good tyres, but wondering how to identify the rim is original? Lets say for rpf1, just enough has "made in japan", or maybe based on weight? Any thoughts?

Based on weight if RPF1 coz the fakes can never match the lightness. Even better if you can observe first a sample of the original so you can pin point the details then use that as the reference. Pay attention to the markings/stampings at the back, usually the fakes will not match those and they will say made in Thailand/Taiwan etc2. or designed by Japan.

So terrible, these people just to make money, imitation rims, parts and so on......

Start with good tires, and any rims. U not doing rally or saja drive fast over poth holes.
Then save for lightweight ori rims.
