Center Caps For Enkei Rpf-1 15" Wheels?????

Does anyone know what, if any center caps fit onto the Enkei RPF-1 15" wheel on our cars???

Enkei does not sell center caps for the 15" RPF-1 wheel and they state that they aren't available either. I've read in some places that Konig Helium center caps, SSR Comp, and some Rota caps will work. I haven't seen any photos of this to prove it but I don't want to waste money trying several different ones before I get it right...

If you know which ones fit, have any pics, and know where I can get some that would be much appreciated.

Enkei Racing RPF1 Special Brilliant Coating

Here's one. Funny I was just looking to buy these wheels from Tire rack and it say none available but, if you type a search for Enkie RFP-1 this shows up. I wonder if the stock one fits.

Mazda Performance Parts: Out BEST Miata Wheel....ENKEI RP-F1-15x7 41mm offset on SALE!


"Note that Enkei does not make a center cap for this size (15") but our KONIG HELIUM center caps will fit this wheel if you must have center caps (remove rear spring from Helium cap, insert main disc from the cap, and spray paint the small quarter-size "Konig" label before installing)."

The small quarter size konig label comes as a separate peel and "stick" on emblem, which can be left off the caps or painted if you wish.

If you click on your link you can get hte RPF1's in gold but when you go on to TIRERACK.COM and do a search for it i cant find it in the RIM in GOLD...=(

NVM...tehy are only offered in 17" and 18"

Got them installed today finally! I was a little afraid that they might look a bit weird at stock ride height, but the 15" RPF1s look great -- probably because it's the same wheel size as stock. I definitely need to paint the inside area black (where the center caps would go) as suggested in this thread.

Hauling the stock Fit rims back upstairs, man those things are heavy!!

Since we are talking rpf1s I figured I will show mine even though I don't drive a fit. I did not get the center caps since they cost so much so I wonder if there are less expensive caps that would fit the 18 inch rpf1s

For some strange reason putting on the rpf1s really brought out the wheel gap even though I am running the stock rubber.

Here are the Konig 15" Helium caps I just got via UPS today. Cheap plastic caps. Not sure how much massaging it will take to make them fit or stay yet, haven't tried a thing. Tomorrow morning. Need to find or make an alternative to the Konig circle sticker. 88 grams for all four caps and everything (plus the protective layer over the Konig logo that's not peeled away yet).

that's because your stock wheels are +55mm offset and 6" width
while your F1's are probably +41mm offset and 7" width.
