Its 5x114.3 bolt pattern makes it compatible with a wide range of vehicles, offering versatility for many popular makes and models. Whether you drive on the street or push your car on the track, this wheel delivers improved handling and responsiveness through reduced unsprung weight.
With a bold gold finish and a classic twin-spoke design, the RPF1 combines style with function. It is ideal for drivers who want to enhance their vehicle’s performance and aesthetics without compromising strength or reliability.
Key Features:
The Enkei RPF1 wheel incorporates advanced engineering and design elements to maximize performance and durability:
- 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: Optimized for better stress dispersion during cornering, hard braking, and aggressive driving, enhancing wheel strength and longevity.
- Pocket Design Around Bolt Circles: Increases rigidity and helps dissipate heat, keeping the wheel cooler under extreme race conditions.
- Size and Fitment: 17-inch diameter with 9-inch width and +35mm offset, suitable for vehicles requiring a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 73mm hub bore.
- Gold Finish: Durable and eye-catching color that adds a unique look to your vehicle while resisting corrosion and wear.
- Backspacing and Frontspacing: 6.38 inches backspacing and 3.62 inches frontspacing for proper fitment and clearance on compatible vehicles.
Construction & Design:
The Enkei RPF1 is crafted using rotary forging, a process that compresses and strengthens the aluminum alloy, resulting in a wheel that is both lighter and stronger than conventional cast wheels. This manufacturing method reduces unsprung weight, which directly benefits vehicle dynamics by improving suspension response and reducing overall weight.
The twin-spoke layout is engineered to evenly distribute stress across the wheel, minimizing the risk of cracks or deformation during high-load situations such as cornering or braking. Additionally, the pockets around the bolt holes enhance structural rigidity and promote better heat dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining performance during track use or spirited driving.
Installation & Fitment:
This wheel features a universal 5x114.3 bolt pattern, making it compatible with many popular vehicles. Before purchase, it is important to verify that the 17x9 size, +35mm offset, and 73mm hub bore match your vehicle’s specifications to ensure proper fitment and clearance.
The Enkei RPF1 mounts directly using factory lug nuts and does not require any modifications such as cutting, drilling, or special tuning. This makes installation straightforward for both professional installers and experienced enthusiasts.
