Enkei RC-T5 Wheels

What Makes the Enkei RC-T5 Special?

There are many races to ignite the senses of automotive enthusiasts. There is NASCAR for those who have an undying affection for left turns, Formula 1 for the ultimate in technology and aerodynamics, Touring Car Championships to see how well “normal” cars go around a racetrack. Then there is the World Rally Championship which is bloody sensational.

It is no secret that wheel technology and material are factors that go into racing cars. Wheels need to be strong, extremely lightweight, and be impervious to abuse. The Enkei RC-T5 is all of these things in a round metal package.

With more than 40 years of experience making competition wheels, Enkei has developed the fifth generation of its tarmac competition model, the RC-T5. The RC-T5 is lighter and stronger than any of its predecessors to give racing drivers an edge over the competition. The RC-T5 provides its extreme rigidity under acceleration and hard cornering to shave precious tenths off of lap times. The Enkei RC-T5 is the choice for those that want to win.

Weight has been saved by MAT-DURA Flow Forming and computer analysis. Its huge center dish that includes a short spoke design is highly effective for all types of load that are categorized under gravel condition which include preventing gravel or stones from entering the area where the brakes are located. The rim area is also fashioned to remove mud with ease. The Enkei RC-T5 has a rim profile and face designed perfectly for huge brake discs and calipers - a feature professionals and enthusiasts look for when it comes to sports racing wheels.

Enkei RC-T5 wheels are engineered to pass rigorous testing. In fact, Enkei established its own test standard called “Spec-E,” which is tougher than JWL requirements. Enkei’s Spec-E test setting requires a higher drop point in the impact test and 20% more cycles for the rotary bending fatigue and dynamic radial fatigue tests than JWL standards. The Spec-E represents Enkei’s confidence in its technology and quality of Enkei wheels.

The RC-T5 is formed using Enkei’s MAT-Dura process which fuses the single-piece cast wheel technology together with the rim forming procedure called the spinning process. Making use of this type of casting and rim method is critical for drastically improving the strength and material properties of the wheels. Moreover, their rim-rolled technology alters and shapes the rim to better the elongation of materials without having to sacrifice the hardness and durability of the wheels.

Features:

• Engineered for Rally stages which means it is strong, light, and can take a lot of abuse
• Manufactured using Enkei’s MAT-Dura flowforming process
• Spec-E inspected

The RC-T5 is available only in an 18-inch diameter guise and comes only in Dark Silver.
