Construction & Design
The Enkei RPF1 wheel is manufactured using the MAT process, a rotary forging technique that shapes the wheel under high pressure to increase tensile strength and reduce weight. This advanced manufacturing method results in a wheel that is 10% to 15% lighter than comparable forged wheels without sacrificing durability.
The twin spoke layout is engineered to evenly distribute stress loads encountered during aggressive driving, such as sharp cornering and hard braking. Additionally, the pocket design around the bolt circle enhances structural rigidity and promotes better airflow to the brakes, helping to maintain cooler operating temperatures during track sessions or spirited driving.
Installation & Fitment
The Enkei RPF1 Black Chrome wheel is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for vehicles with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 73mm hub bore. Its +38mm offset and 9.5-inch width provide a versatile fitment option for many performance-oriented vehicles. No modifications such as cutting, drilling, or special tuning are required for proper installation, but it is essential to verify your vehicle’s wheel specifications before purchase to ensure compatibility.
