The stock S2000 wheels are made by Enkei. Take a look on the inside of them next time you have them off. Same with my stock Accord wheels.

I've done my research trying to find the wheel that suits my driving style. Oem enkeis are heavier and are most likely low pressure cast, slight higher grade casting, with more strength than aftermarket wheels (rpf1's and pf01 ). Yes oem wheels can bend but are less likely to crack under the same conditions as gravity casted

Not a good analogy.
We get your point.
Not sure if you're saying Ferrari's are daily shits though.

That wouldn't be a reach for me... all my weekend trips are 200 plus miles one direction, Ferrari maintenance costs would add up quick!
