So, a friend and I took the spare out yesterday... and it was a gloss black Enkei wheel. Is this normal? I found it very odd that the spare would be an attractive wheel from another third-party manufacturer than Rays.

doesn't sound right I remember the sales person told me And showed me the spare and it's was a full size wheel like the ones that are on the car. I'll have to check my nismo and see and I'll let you know.

Yup, enkei here. I remember I got a flat during a Z cruise to the Hoover Dam here in Vegas. Everyone was stunned when they saw my spare was a "fancy" Enkei. It was all they could talk about after that, LOL

that's normal on the sport/nismo.

base gets a 'regular' wheel.

The Enkei clears the nissan BBK, hence the nismo/sport models having it.

enkei makes a lot of OEM regular and spare wheels in addition to aftermarket.

I ran Pontiac 16" wheels with drag slicks on my 350z, and they were made by enkei.
