Construction & Design:
The Enkei RPF1 is crafted using the MAT forging process, which shapes the wheel to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. This rotary forged wheel features a pocket design around the bolt circles that not only increases rigidity but also helps dissipate heat generated during intense driving sessions. The twin spoke layout is engineered to evenly distribute stress loads, enhancing durability on track and street alike.
These design choices result in a wheel that is both lightweight and robust, improving your vehicle’s handling by reducing unsprung weight. Every pound saved in wheel weight can translate to a reduction of approximately 20 pounds in overall vehicle weight, positively impacting acceleration, braking, and cornering.
