Key Features:
The Enkei RPF1 combines advanced engineering and innovative design to provide a superior wheel solution:
- Rotary Forged Construction: Utilizes Enkei’s MAT (Most Advanced Technology) process to reduce wheel weight by 10%–15% compared to traditional cast wheels, improving acceleration and handling.
- Twin-Spoke Design: Enhances stress dispersion during cornering, hard braking, and extreme race conditions for increased durability.
- Pocket Design Around Bolt Circles: Increases wheel rigidity and promotes better heat dissipation to keep brakes cooler under aggressive driving.
- Gold Finish: Eye-catching and corrosion-resistant coating that adds a premium look to your vehicle.
- Size and Fitment: 18-inch diameter with 8.5-inch width and +40mm offset, suitable for vehicles with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 73mm hub bore.
- Backspacing and Frontspacing: 6.32 inches backspacing and 3.18 inches frontspacing for optimal fitment and clearance.
Construction & Design:
The RPF1 wheel is crafted using Enkei’s rotary forging technology, which applies high pressure to the wheel blank while spinning it. This process aligns the metal’s grain structure, resulting in a wheel that is both lighter and stronger than conventional cast wheels. The MAT process further refines the shape and reduces weight without compromising strength.
The twin-spoke layout is engineered to distribute loads evenly, reducing stress concentrations that can lead to fatigue. Additionally, the pockets around the bolt holes not only reinforce the wheel’s structure but also enhance airflow to the brakes, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures during demanding driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
The Enkei RPF1 Gold 18x8.5 wheel is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for vehicles with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 73mm hub bore. It fits a broad range of cars and SUVs, but it is important to verify your vehicle’s specifications before purchase to ensure proper fitment.
No modifications such as cutting, drilling, or special tuning are required for installation. The wheel uses standard mounting points and hardware, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
