Wtf kinda rim is this?


This obviously after the 'accident' of sorts.. The cap isn't on it.

http://rocky.rgamers.com/pics/car/enkeirims.jpg <-- An older pic with the cap on.
http://rocky.rgamers.com/pics/car/crackedrim.jpg <-- Pic of the damage >.<

So, I have noooo idea what these rims are. As you can see I busted up one of them, and need to replace it. If anyone knows what kind of rims these are, where I could get some, even if that rim is repairable (from what you can see).. anything be appreciated. A buncha searches on Google with different kinds of search queries came up pretty useless so... see if you guys have any idea. My car is an 88 FC3S SE, for the record ^^". All I know is the following information, for what it's worth:

4-bolt pattern, 15" rim, two "25 IAW 25" spacers are being used with em, number on the back of it says 6JJX15, and has a 33 below that. One of the rims says "Enkei Aeronautics" on it.

They're already on. I need a replacement for just the one, as a temporary thing. I don't want to go buy brand new rims right at the moment, but I need something in the meantime.

Probably "Enkei Aeronautics" being that they are labeled that, and "Aeronautics" is not part of the Enkei company name. Good luck finding one though, you'd be better off buying new wheels.

Those are old Enkei wheels. I remember they were popular in the late 80s. Perhaps you could find a cheap set on eBay? There are probably thousands of sets sitting in garages across North America that people would love to get rid of. Hell, put up a "wheel wanted" sign in your area and see if anyone calls.

I think they are Enkei model 84?
They are long discontinued.
If you want to find a replacement, you need to find a used set someone is willing to sell to you.

I got curious and looked it up in an old car magazine. The Tire Rack ad in the back of my March 1991 Car & Driver shows your wheel as Enkei 84, just as Ted remembered. That wheel had dissappeared from the Tire Rack ads by December 1991.

lol, Wow they're quite old O.O I suppose they're better than phone dials, though.

The hunt continues... Thanks for all information [so far] guys =D Now I'll have to see if I can manage to find one on the net or Ebay I s'pose..

I used to own a set on a previous Honda CRX.
The set is currently on my mom's Nissan Sentra.
