Enkei wheels

Enkei wheels are an expensive Japanese alloy wheel, they are really great being strong and light. A new set will cost you more than buying a typical gen1. If you visit their website, you will see how professional and top end performance the company is.

If they are the right stud spacing for your car, and the size and offset what you want, buy them quickly before someone else does.

But then I am biased, I have 14" Enkei wheels on my 84. They look great and have given no trouble in over 15 years.

a few english classes, we're ranked in the middle compaired to most, I've heard Nashville is at the bottom due to lack of attendance and intelligance.

Sorry that I wasn't clear in my post read it before posted it and didn't realize I hadn't asked my inital question

They're the black mesh style with the polished aluminum outter ring off of an 80' GS.

Nice comeback, but here's a little friendly advice. If you're going to dis someone's intelligence, you should probably use correct spelling...intelligance should be intelligence...compaired should be compared.

I'm just telling what I was told, not sure haven't examined them closely so I'm not positive about them until I know better that's what I'm sticking with, IYO what brand are they???

The second wheel is an American Racing style but never seen them and AR won't return my e-mails saying if it is indeed and AR wheel or its another companies wheel.

IMO they look like something off of an RX2 or RX3. Maybe off of a Z or something.

I have 15" black mesh Enkei's on my 80. I love them. I put 205/50/15 Nitto's on them. It looks a little "muscle car ish", but I really like them. I get a lot of turned heads. I paid $300 for them, no center caps, and one bend that doesn't really show or hurt driveability.

They are the same ones as the picture. Only one problem. The lug bolts on our cars are too long. I had to use some from Mercedes.
