Enkei RPF1 Silver 17×9 5×114.3 45mm Offset | Lightweight Performance Wheel | Subaru Wheel

Overview

The Enkei RPF1 Silver 17×9 wheel is a high-performance aftermarket upgrade designed specifically for Subaru enthusiasts seeking to enhance both handling and style. Built with racing technology in mind, this wheel offers a perfect balance of lightweight strength and aggressive aesthetics, making it ideal for Subaru models like the WRX, STI, BRZ, and other compatible platforms. Whether you’re aiming for improved acceleration, sharper cornering, or a race-inspired look, the RPF1 delivers the performance and durability needed for spirited driving and track days.

Enkei’s engineering philosophy centers around innovation and precision. Utilizing their proprietary MAT (Most Advanced Technology) process, the RPF1 reduces weight by approximately 10-15%, which translates into quicker throttle response, better braking, and reduced unsprung mass. Designed with a twin spoke pattern, the wheel evenly disperses stress during aggressive cornering, while the pocketed center increases rigidity and cooling efficiency. This combination of form and function ensures your Subaru remains responsive and reliable under demanding conditions, whether on the street or the track.

For Subaru owners passionate about tuning and performance upgrades, the RPF1’s 17×9 size with a 45mm offset provides ample clearance for wider tires and suspension modifications. The 5×114.3 bolt pattern ensures compatibility with a broad range of Subaru models, making it a versatile choice for those looking to elevate their build. These wheels not only improve your vehicle’s handling but also give your Subaru a distinctive, race-inspired appearance that stands out on the road or at the track.
