Enkei's most well known modern wheel worldwide is this RPF1 design. As the name indicates, the RPF1 was designed using the same technology as the Mercedes Mclaren F1 race wheels (Enkei is the official supplier of wheels for this team). Using MAT FORMING process Enkei was able to reduce the wheel weight by 10 to 15 percent while keeping the structure extremely strong. Since every pound of unsprung weight has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20 pounds this results in drastic performance improvements. In addition, the TWIN SPOKE design (same as used on the Mercedes McLaren F1 race vehicle) allow better stress dispersion during cornering, braking, accelerating and all other race situations. Enkei even spent special care designing the mounting pad of this wheel with a special CENTER POCKET design that increases rigidity and keeps the wheel cooler during aggressive driving.

Enkei RPF1 Wheel Hardware Information:

• Center Caps: None! Since most race tracks do not allow center caps during events, in the racing spirit, this Enkei wheel does not feature a center cap. Your stock center cap may fit or there may be caps available for special order. Please contact us if you need center caps.
• Lug Nuts: Accepts standard aftermarket lug nuts (sold separately).
• TPMS: Direct fit compatibility with most all factory TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) sensors.
• Hubcentric Rings: Not necessary if installed properly. The tapered aftermarket lug nuts this wheel accepts will automatically center the wheel if installed correctly (tighten each lug nut using a criss-cross pattern, usually to 80 lb-ft of torque each, and re-tighten each lug nut after about 100 miles of driving).
