The AME (Auto Mobile Engineering) wheel brand is developed by Kyoho and manufactured by Enkei in Japan. But they usually say AME on the wheels.

they are nice, similiar to aegis but not quite, aegis the mesh goes right to the lugs.

if they were 17 or 18 I would consider them for myself!

I'm stumped for once.

They look so similar to Work Termist TM1 but the Enkeis have a lot more fasteners.

AME's are distributed by Endless ( i think they are Endless's brand wheels ), most likely outsourced to Enkei for production.

NOT ENDLESS PRODUCT.

Endless USA simply acts as the US Importer for AME. For a 3 year period, our company (AutoRnD) exclusively distributed the wheels for Endless, due to our wheel knowledge.

Endless is now acting as both the importer and distributor for the brand.

AME is actually branded by Kyoho Corporation, a "sister" company to Enkei Int'l. Kyoho created and designed the AME brand which they outsource Enkei Japan to manufacture with their MAT and various other technologies.

Hope that helps,

Rishie

DON'T FORGET THAT ENDLESS IS HAVING A HUGE HUGE HUGE SALE FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY.

CHECK OUT:

WWW.ENDLESSUSA.COM
WWW.OG-MADE.COM

FOR MORE INFORMATION. I WILL BE THERE.
