Which hardware? The lug nuts? The simulated rim bolts? it depends on the Enkei wheel in question

Enkei makes some multi-piece rims and lookalike versions.

For example, My RSEs look like Enkei Revolutions but the "bolts" on mine were just plastic inserts. I had the wheels repaired after they were scratched and bent when Pamela went off a mountain and put the same rims on Carmen. The plastic bolts had to be removed so the wheels could be machined, but I didn't bother to get replacements yet (prying them out, the only way to remove them, destroyed them).

I have a source for replacements but haven't bothered since I'd need to order replacement hardware for 8 rims instead of four to make it cost effective.

Odds are yours are the lookalikes, as true multi-piece rims are rare for street.

If there's nuts on the backside, then it's a 2 piece rim. Find a specialty nut/bolt supplier for the hardware.
