Default unusual enkei's nt03+m?

Hello ive been a forum creeper for some time and finally decided to join the community. I recently purchased a 2001 s2000 with enkei nt03+m on it i was told they were 17x8 +30 all around. Recently had the chance to pull them off and noticwd they are actually 17x7.5 +48. I cant seem to find that size anywhere and am planning to refinish them but i dont want to waste that money if they are indeed fake. Can anyone chime in on this uncommon size? Please let me know if this is in the wrong section thank you

if you google "enkei nt03 17x7.5 +48 5x114.3" the first result is a set for sale on ebay in australia. Not a super popular wheel and yours have the dual valve stems so I highly doubt they're knockoffs.

I figures there where fake as that was the only result i found..i know its not super popular but i do like the wheel and the offset is really easy to work with. Now its just time to get them powder coated. Thank you for the answer!

These wheels had an old version and the current version. The old version came in 17's and narrower sizes where the current version which only has 1 size for the 17's. Your wheels look like the old version of the wheel. Overall I would not bother refinishing them since they are so narrow. Those would be better suited for a civic.

Those are the current version of the wheel in 17x7.5 +48. I know because I own a set of the 17x9.5 +44 and am intimately familiar with them. Dead giveaway is the screw-in center cap, the two valve stems (originals only had one), and the pockets on either side of the lug nuts.

If they are 7.5 inches wide all around I would get ride of them and buy something else. You could also buy 2 wider ones for the rear. They are just to narrow in the rear to make sense keeping.
