Overview
The Enkei NVR5 wheel is a race-inspired, high-performance aftermarket wheel designed specifically for Subaru WRX and WRX STI models spanning 2015 to 2026 for WRX and 2011 to 2021 for STI.

For Subaru owners, the NVR5’s design translates to tangible benefits: reduced unsprung weight improves suspension response and steering precision, while the robust construction withstands the rigors of spirited driving and track days. The dark hyper silver finish offers an OEM+ quality appearance that elevates the WRX and STI’s aggressive styling. Whether upgrading for improved handling or visual impact, the Enkei NVR5 is a well-rounded wheel choice tailored to Subaru performance platforms.
