Key Features:
The Enkei RPF1 incorporates advanced engineering and design elements to deliver exceptional performance and reliability:
- Rotary Forged (MAT Process) construction reduces wheel weight by 10%–15% compared to traditional cast wheels, enhancing acceleration and braking.
- Twin spoke design optimizes stress dispersion during cornering, hard braking, and extreme race conditions for improved durability.
- Pocket design around the bolt circles increases wheel rigidity and promotes better heat dissipation to keep brakes cooler under aggressive driving.
- Gold finish provides a distinctive, high-quality appearance that stands out on the street or track.
- 17-inch diameter with 9-inch width and +45mm offset balances aggressive stance with fitment versatility.
- Hub bore diameter of 73mm ensures proper centering on compatible vehicles.
- Backspacing of 6.77 inches and frontspacing of 3.23 inches for precise fitment and clearance.
Construction & Design:
The RPF1 wheel is crafted using Enkei’s proprietary MAT (Most Advanced Technology) rotary forging process. This method applies heat and pressure to the wheel blank, aligning the metal’s grain structure for superior strength and reduced weight compared to conventional casting. The result is a wheel that maintains excellent rigidity while shedding unnecessary mass.
The twin spoke layout not only enhances the wheel’s structural integrity but also contributes to a lightweight design that benefits unsprung weight reduction. Additionally, the pockets around the lug nut holes increase stiffness and improve airflow around the brake components, helping to manage heat during demanding driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
This Enkei RPF1 wheel features a universal 5x100 bolt pattern, making it compatible with a variety of vehicles that use this common configuration. Before purchasing, it is important to verify that the wheel’s size, offset, and hub bore match your vehicle’s specifications to ensure proper fitment and clearance.
The wheel is designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement using factory mounting points. No modifications such as cutting, drilling, or special tuning are required for installation when matched correctly to your vehicle.
