The designers and engineers at Enkei Wheels have taken all the secrets that they have learned over the years being one of the world’s largest wheel manufacturers, and created their Race Line of wheel. These wheels are some of the best one and two piece wheels available on the market, but because of their massive production capacity, Enkei is able to give you the quality, strength, and weight-savings of a wheel that costs twice as much.
The RPF1 wheel incorporates both the M.A.T. process and the S.C Process.
MAT MICRO STRUCTURE
The M.A.T process, has a drastic impact on the micro structure of aluminum and result In outstanding improvement of the mechanical property of the material. The process of spinning the rim allows Metal Flow in the rim part, which resemble the property obtained from forging process. The control of the metal flow in the rim section result in finer molecular structure without sacrificing the wheels strength and rigidity.
MAT FORMED
Following the high performance trend every year, tires and wheels are getting larger year after year. In order to reduce weight under a vehicle's suspension, it is important to reduce the wheel weight. The M.A.T process improves the mechanical property of the rim section by shaving the rim's thickness and therefore reducing wheel weight by 10% to 15% therefore reducing the overall vehicle weight by 20 lbs.
SC PROCESS
Improves the hardness of the disc surface, eliminating stress received while the vehicle is in motion. this process make s the wheels lighter and stronger enabling you to accelerate faster, drive smoothly and brake efficiently. Fatigue strength is improved by 20% to 30%.
