LittleStealthSS has those rims I believe only in gunmetal. They look damn similar and yes they fit assuming they ARE the same ones.

Yes, they are 5x110. PM LittleStealthSS to make sure those are his rims, but I'm almost positive they are.

Here they are from his gallery:



EDIT: Those are for sure the same wheels, only in different color. So YES they will fit and it IS the correct bolt pattern.

I still find this sketchy, lol. I discussed this in the past........I just find it odd that Enkei dosen't even list a 5x110 bolt pattern on their OWN website, yet some little vendor has them. Yes, I saw the pic of LittleStealth's SS.........but I still find it sketchy. He could have.....dare I say it.......fake Enkei's. I mean, theres already a plethora of fake Volks, Advans, Mugens, 5zigen, Racing Hart, etc etc on the market. But no matter, they do look nice. I wouldnt mind having a set of gunmetal ones, but I like my Enkei WDMs for now. If I do change wheels in the future its either gonna be the Gravana J2 mesh (black/chrome lip), in 18x8, or the ALT X-Phile's in silver or chrome, 19x8.

I can vouch for the wheels, Brian (aka LittleStealthSS) is a good friend of mine, I've seen them in person, I know where he ordered them from, hell the salesman is my neighbor. THEY ARE REAL ENKEIS. They are available in 5x110 and no, they're NOT listed on Enkei's website because it is not a common size.

No, he went through a local business since they got him a deal on a wheel/tire/mount & balance package.

the manufacturer tends to not add parts on theire own website all the time. since they dont expect alot of direct sales.


However, pictures and information (pricing, specs, etc) are shipped to each vendor.

So for them not being listed on enkei's own website is understandable.

So very true. Plus I don't really see what is so hard to believe about Enkei making 5x110 bolt pattern wheels...they supply the double 5 spoke wheels that are OEM on the G6. Not like they've never produced a wheel in that pattern anyway.

I used to love those in Hyperblack. After seeming them on a SS, I think they are ugly to sin.

yeah......I liked them better before I saw a pic on an SS. They still look nice I guess, but I much prefer my WDMs.
