I just find that odd that Enkei, the manufactuer of the wheel, dosent' have them in 5x110 on their own website's sizing/fitment chart, yet some tuner shop stocks them in 5x110. And on top of that, thats the ONLY place i've ever seen having a 5x110 in those wheels.....you think at least ONE other major wheel vendor would stock them, right? Sounds kinda iffy........not to sound mean, but thats just way too sketchy for me. I've had friends buy fake Advan's and fake Volks's for their cars in the past thinking they were getting the real deal, and boyt were they pi$$ed. Unless Enkei's own website states such a wheel exists, then i'd steer clear of them. Just my two sense.

Ummmmmm....

Except for the fact that more than just one place stocks them. I've seen them on other sites. The one I posted was the cheapest. We also are getting them through a local shop. Just cause they aren't listed on the site doesn't mean they're fake. I don't really understand that logic... but then again, I don't believe the Internet is always the most accurate source of information.

alright man, do what ya want. All i'm saying that is Enkei themselves don't even have such a wheel on their own website, then I find that sketchy. Thats my "logic" behind this particular topic.

And if you contact Enkei, they'll tell you that they do make that wheel in a 5x110 bolt pattern. The reason you don't see it on there is because that wheel was a 2004 model originally and wasn't offered in that bolt patter initially.

Do you really think MULTIPLE stores, and reputable ones at that, would offer a knock off wheel as a real Enkei?
