Key Features:
The Enkei RPF1 wheel incorporates advanced engineering and design features that make it a standout choice for performance enthusiasts:
- Rotary Forged Construction: Utilizes Enkei’s MAT (Most Advanced Technology) process to reduce wheel weight by 10%–15% compared to traditional cast wheels, enhancing vehicle dynamics.
- Twin Spoke Design: Optimizes stress dispersion during cornering, hard braking, and aggressive driving, increasing durability and reliability under demanding conditions.
- Pocket Design Around Bolt Circles: Increases wheel rigidity and improves heat dissipation to keep brakes cooler during intense driving sessions.
- Size and Fitment: 17-inch diameter with 8.5-inch width and +40mm offset, suitable for vehicles with a 5x114.3mm bolt pattern and 73mm hub bore.
- Silver Finish: Durable and stylish coating that resists corrosion and complements a wide range of vehicle colors and styles.
- Backspacing and Frontspacing: 6.32 inches backspacing and 3.18 inches frontspacing for balanced fitment and clearance.
Construction & Design:
The Enkei RPF1 wheel is crafted using rotary forging, a process that compresses the aluminum alloy under high pressure while spinning, resulting in a denser and stronger wheel structure. This method reduces weight without compromising strength, contributing to improved unsprung mass and overall vehicle performance.
The wheel’s twin spoke layout is engineered to evenly distribute stress loads encountered during high-performance driving, such as cornering and braking. Additionally, the pockets around the bolt holes not only reinforce the wheel’s structural integrity but also aid in heat dissipation, which is critical during track use or spirited driving.
Installation & Fitment:
This wheel is designed for universal fitment on vehicles with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and a 73mm hub bore. It is important to verify your vehicle’s specifications to ensure proper fitment before purchase. The Enkei RPF1 mounts using standard lug nuts and factory mounting points, making installation straightforward for most applications.
No modifications such as cutting, drilling, or special tuning are required for proper installation when matched to compatible vehicles.
