2 Attachment(s)
Who can tell me what these rims are?
I know they are the 4x114.3 bolt pattern and are 15"
but the brand I am not sure.

Anyone?????????

Probably Enki,but it doesnt really matter too much.Everyone made a rim that style,there were only minor differences in the details.

nineteen83rx7 08-13-07 06:45 PM

Enkei? Maybe not, the center looks different where the spokes cut off..

Fire85GSLSE 08-13-07 07:01 PM

They do say made in Japan and 15" on the rear. On the front there is a VIA emblem but that is it.

Enkei are made in Japan....looks like ones I used to have.

Could be Rikens. I have a set in 14", the center of those looks very similar if not exact.

Natey 08-13-07 08:54 PM

^^^ +1, except I don't have a set. :icon16:

Fire85GSLSE 08-13-07 09:37 PM

I have alway thought Riken's well since I bought them 4 years ago.

Siraniko 08-13-07 10:41 PM

They are Rikens. The enkeis are smooth all the way to the bolt holes.

No way... Makes it hard to sandblast, gloss enamel coat the center and mesh black and polish the lip... Which those sorely need.


And tires would be kinda helpful... ;)




AFTER polishing the lip. :nono:

+1. WAY DIFFERENT. PLUS the 83 limited editions rims ONLY came in 14". The center section mesh seems to be protruding OUT of the rim versus these that are just flat.

Dont forget, the LE rims were 4 X 110.

These are for 4 X 114.3. Definately not LE rims.

I would as soon as I get the lip fixed and all four polished out and repainted.
But might just sell them instead as I have a set of panasports

Eriks85Rx7 09-06-07 10:46 PM
