Enkei Wheels Installed

What is the name of the Enkei wheel?? I don't see that design on their website or Tirerack and that emblem on the centercap doesn't look like Enkei.

These wheels were manufactured by ENKEI and designed by a racing company that apparently went bankrupt. Since then these wheels were discontinued and offered to wheel shops for a discounted price.

The local wheel shop owner here in Melbourne Florida told me he purchased the entire remaining inventory of these wheels for .40 cents on the dollar. Again this is what I was told. It really didn't matter to me because I thought the wheels looked great up against the Z.

I verified myself these wheels are 17 lbs each, however I don't think they are forged. They are manufactured using ENKEI's M.A.T Rim Roll forging process. I'm not really sure what that means.

The center cap includes the racing company logo and in tiny words "Technology By ENKEI."

I included some pictures of the center cap and stamping on the wheel. Again, ENKEI stopped manufacturing this wheel design when the racing company went bankrupt.

I hope this answers some of your questions.
