The Enkei RAIJIN is a multi-spoke, lightweight aluminum street wheel from Enkei's Tuning Series, engineered for daily drivers who demand both style and real-world performance gains. Named after the Japanese god of thunder, the RAIJIN delivers a bold, aggressive look backed by proven Enkei engineering.
At the heart of the RAIJIN is Enkei's proprietary MAT (Most Advanced Technology) manufacturing process, which combines one-piece cast wheel technology with an advanced rim-spinning process. This flow-forming technique stretches and compresses the barrel of the wheel under heat and pressure, creating a denser grain structure closer to a forged wheel — resulting in a 10–15% reduction in wheel weight and significantly improved tensile strength compared to conventional cast wheels, all at a cast-wheel price point.
Enkei's Rim-Rolled technology further shapes the rim to improve material elongation without sacrificing hardness, helping the wheel flex slightly under impact and return to its original shape — a key advantage for everyday road conditions.
Every RAIJIN wheel is backed by Enkei's rigorous Spec-E testing standard, which exceeds JWL requirements by demanding a higher drop point in the impact test and 20% more cycles in rotary bending fatigue and dynamic radial fatigue tests. Spec-E is Enkei's commitment to quality and safety beyond industry minimums.
Key Features:
- Enkei MAT (Most Advanced Technology) flow-forming process for near-forged strength at cast pricing
- Rim-Rolled technology improves barrel elongation without reducing hardness

- 18" wheels include standard center cap (Part # A468-CAPCP); 19" wheels include flat center cap (Part # A476-CAPCP)
- Optional flat center cap compatible with all RAIJIN sizes
- Available finishes: Hyper Silver, Matte Black, and Matte Gunmetal; Titanium Gray available as special order on select 18" sizes
- Spec-E inspected — exceeds JWL strength and fatigue test standards
- Sold individually
Reducing unsprung rotational mass with a lighter wheel translates directly to quicker acceleration, more responsive braking, improved steering feel, and even modest fuel economy gains. The RAIJIN delivers all of this without sacrificing the durability needed for everyday use.
