Universal Fitment with 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern
3797806545GG
Overview:
The Enkei RPF1 Gold 17x8 wheel is a high-performance rotary forged wheel designed for enthusiasts seeking a lightweight, durable, and visually striking upgrade. Featuring a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a +45mm offset, this wheel fits a wide range of vehicles equipped with this common bolt pattern. The RPF1’s twin-spoke design enhances stress dispersion during aggressive driving conditions such as cornering and hard braking, making it ideal for spirited street driving and track use.
With its distinctive gold finish, the RPF1 not only improves your vehicle’s performance but also adds a bold aesthetic statement. This wheel is engineered to reduce unsprung weight, which can positively impact handling and overall vehicle dynamics.
Key Features:
The Enkei RPF1 wheel incorporates advanced design and manufacturing technologies to deliver exceptional performance and reliability:
- Rotary Forged Construction: Utilizes Enkei’s MAT (Most Advanced Technology) process to reduce wheel weight by 10%–15% compared to traditional cast wheels.
- Twin-Spoke Design: Enhances stress dispersion on curves, during hard braking, and under extreme race driving conditions for improved durability.
- Pocket Design Around Bolt Circles: Increases wheel rigidity and helps keep the wheel cooler during aggressive driving sessions.
- Lightweight Performance: Every pound of unsprung weight saved can reduce overall vehicle weight by approximately 20 pounds, improving handling responsiveness.
- Gold Finish: Durable and eye-catching color that stands out while resisting corrosion and wear.
- Size and Fitment: 17-inch diameter with 8-inch width and +45mm offset, suitable for vehicles with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 73mm hub bore.
Construction & Design:
The Enkei RPF1 is crafted using rotary forging, a process that compresses the wheel’s aluminum alloy under high pressure while spinning. This technique aligns the metal’s grain structure, resulting in a wheel that is both lighter and stronger than conventional cast wheels. The MAT shaping process further optimizes weight reduction without compromising structural integrity.
The twin-spoke layout is engineered to evenly distribute loads during dynamic driving, reducing the risk of stress fractures and enhancing longevity. Additionally, the pockets around the bolt holes not only reinforce the wheel’s strength but also improve heat dissipation, which is critical during track or aggressive driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
This Enkei RPF1 wheel is designed for universal fitment on vehicles with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 73mm hub bore. The 17x8 size with a +45mm offset is common among many performance and sport compact vehicles. Before purchasing, please verify the wheel specifications against your vehicle’s requirements to ensure proper fitment.
The wheel mounts directly using factory lug nuts and does not require any modifications, cutting, or special tuning for installation.
