- Black Chrome Finish: Provides a distinctive, glossy appearance that resists corrosion and adds a premium look to your vehicle.
- Optimized Dimensions: 17-inch diameter with 8.5-inch width and +30mm offset for a balanced fitment and stance on vehicles with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
- Hub Bore Size: 73mm center bore ensures proper fitment and alignment on compatible vehicles.
Construction & Design:
The Enkei RPF1 is crafted using a rotary forging process that enhances the wheel’s strength while significantly reducing weight compared to traditional cast wheels. This manufacturing method compresses the aluminum alloy, resulting in a denser, more durable wheel structure. The MAT process further refines the wheel’s shape and weight distribution, contributing to improved vehicle handling and responsiveness.
The twin-spoke layout is engineered to evenly distribute stress loads, which is especially beneficial during high-performance driving scenarios such as cornering and braking. Additionally, the pockets around the bolt holes not only add rigidity but also facilitate better airflow to the brakes, helping to maintain cooler operating temperatures and reduce brake fade.
Installation & Fitment:
This Enkei RPF1 wheel features a universal 5x114.3 bolt pattern, making it compatible with a wide variety of vehicles that share this specification. Before purchasing, it is important to verify that the wheel’s size, offset, and hub bore match your vehicle’s requirements to ensure proper fitment and safety.
The wheel is designed for direct bolt-on installation using factory mounting points. No cutting, drilling, or special tuning is required, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle’s performance and appearance.
