This wheel was custom made to Dan Gardners specs for his 2007 Road Racing tC, which currently has 2 NASA Championships and a few Koni Grand Am attendances under its belt. This limited edition will be a spin-off of the much loved Enkei RPF-1 wheel. If you are serious about racing, traction, handling, or just looks; this wheel is the perfect compliment to your tC. Providing one of the lightest weight wheels, with the widest width for better handling and traction, not to mention the feel and look of a custom wheel made for your ride, this is it without the price tag associated! This will be a VERY limited production of the wheel. Enkei has granted Dezod Motorsports exclusive distribution rights of this wheel for Dan Gardner. T **here will be a mere 30 sets that will be produced, and that is all! No more ever again. Dan himself will be taking 4 sets for the racing program, which leaves 26 sets of wheels available to the public forever.** So if you would like to get in on this remarkable once-in-a-lifetime deal on this wheel, now is the time to act. ---

would the +30mm offset work on the neon? I’ve got an 8" wide wheel that’s +37mm on the tC and its flush with the fenders. ---

> [@d3x](#): > > I’m just trying to figure out the +30mm option. it would not work on the tC unless you went wide body. does it work on the neon? Depends on the camber, drop, size tire and such. That is why I am asking the size tire you are running as well. The difference from a 245 to 235 could mean clearing to not clearing a fender. ---

THese will fit an SRT-4 and Impreza 2.5RS along with a WRX as well. Choice of offsets and such make this an easy to go deal. ---

**Huge update:** According to King at Enkei USA, we are looking at about 60 days or so before we see these wheels here to ship. The wheels ordered in the 30 offset will have a center-bore specifically for the tC. So it will be truly custom for the car. The wheels ordered in the 40 offset will have a larger center bore because it fits other applications. As a result, we will providing the Scion owners with hub centric rings free of charge. 🙇‍♂️ The wheels have an optional center cap, which will run you $100 for the set if you’d like them. You can run the wheel with or without them. Choice is yours. Each and every person who ordered has been contacted by me personally to confirm some things and get this update. ---

Party people, I just got off the phone with King from Enkei USA. He had informed me that the wheels have an estimated arrival date of July 23 to be in stock and ready to ship from their warehouse. This means I will be in touch with everyone (or feel free to contact me) for last minute order changes to include/exclude center caps and lugs nuts. King notified me that even the 30 offset wheels that where supposed to have hub-centric machined parts on them did not get done because Japan felt it would have been too cumbersome and difficult to do such a short production run of just like that. So, with that being said, EVERYONE will receive the Scion hub centric rings for free on their order regardless of offset chosen. ---
