You know - a couple years ago Enkeis would have been laughed at on an S2000 - since the RPF1s came out, it seems they're getting tossed around with the likes of Volk and Work. Whats going on here? I know they're light, but am I completely off the mark or is this company completely turning its image around?

I am used to crap like this - easily found on your neighborhood ricer:




So what do ya'll think? Whats the deal on Enkei wheels.

"Enkeis would have been laughed at on an S2000"


Guess who makes the stock ap1 wheels.

WOW i never knew that they made my stock wheels!

and i don't know about Enkeis being tossed around with the likes of Volk and Work, but they're definitely not considered total rice.

I am aware that Enkei and BBS made the AP1 wheels...

OEM aside (Evo, etc), Enkei has always been seen as a "Kmart" wheel brand - bottom of the barrel, JC Whitney parts catalouge 100-150/wheel ricer stuff, but now you can find some 350+/Wheels from them. Has it always been this way? How do ya'll feel about Enkeis..

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.

If enkie sucked so bad DRIFTERS would not use ENKIE BRAND rims on thier cars. They need strong durable light weight rims and many choose enkies.

And my '06 stock wheels. Are all AP2 wheels Enkei?

AP2

Enkei has a variety of wheel lines out...your thinking of the wheels you see in the discount tire ads in the front of the magazine going for $500 a set with tires. Then there is the racing series whic h are high quality wheels that every form of motorsports use.

They have total poser garbage and great race wheels, you actually have to look at them.
