You seem to have your opinion set, why start a thread? If you want my opionion I think they make good wheels. Just cause they have a variety of wheels in different pricing brackets doesen't make them "Kmart wheels" and "bottom of the barrel" 
You should read up on them.

So the consensus is they make some cheap/ricey stuff (Enkei Performance Series) and some race related stuff (Racing Series).

Don't get so booty hurt - the whole idea behind starting this thread - any thread - is to start a discussion. Thanks for your input, it was good reading.
It's all good.

They made the factory wheel for the Mclaren road car/LM car as well as Mclaren's F1 wheels. If its good enough for F1, its certainly good enough for an S2000.
Can you please post where you found the information about Enkei making the wheels for McLaren?

OZ made the centerbolt wheels for the LM edition. The standard street car had different wheels

Understood - but where did you see that Enkei made the McLaren F1 wheels, road car or otherwise?
It also stands to reason since Enkei has a contract with them to manufacture their Formula 1 team's wheels.

"take 160 Enkei wheel rims to each race "
If it's good enough for F1, it's fine by me
