Both wheels are Genuine.

RPF1 look more racey imo look better, NKB look more VIP.

Then you have already made up your mind, so it doesnt really matter.

Also the Enkei is not vip rim but the NKB is.

So im confused with your question :confused:,

lol.

NKB Elite 8 for VIP

decision made.. sold my NKB's and got the Enkei's... wanna try a different look this time.. Japanese phat vip.. the main reason i got the Enkeis is because i dont want to have problems with the cops (and i dont want an engineering cert), have a EuroR kit on. which i dont think will suit the NKBs and save on tyres... and not many people have the RPF1 TypeRC's.

The enkei RPF1 is not a vip rim,
Your car will be racer style. JDM, especially with the euro R kit on.
