The Enkei RFP1 is a variation on a true forged wheel made by a process called MAT Technology. It's a more advanced cast technology, so it's better than gravity casting or pressure casting, but it's a lot cheaper to produce than true forged technology.
From the Enkei website:
MAT Technology
Enkei developed a new manufacturing process to produce the next aluminum wheel generation. The Most Advanced Technology (M.A.T) combines one-piece cast wheel technology with a rim forming technology called spinning process. Using this new technology of casting and rim forming by M.A.T process, is critical to improve drastically the material property and strength of the wheels. Rim-Rolled technology shapes the rim to improve material elongation without sacrificing the wheels hardness.

I would go 18x8.5 + 15 in the front and 18x9 in the rear just becuase these are supposed to be aggressive wheels so the offsets are kind of low.
In all seriousness though call up XXR and ask them im sure they'll be able to tell you whatever you need to know. XXRWHEELS.COM They're about 45min from me im even willing to test fit them on my car before if you want.

Thanks man =D
I was just e-mailing my contact at XXR he just gave me the same info. I know those flares are made by 5:axis give them a call and see what they say. You'll have to get the 5:Axis kit also. You could just have some custom ones made I think forjworks was thinking about but never got around to it.
