Their top tier wheels that are used in various forms of autosports are obviously top notch. But that doesn't mean the mass market wheels they have on sale have the same quality. Cost is a MAJOR reason.

I don't care what Enkei tells you, forged>cast anytime.

Motegi is a crap brand, but their trak lites are great.



Cheapest forged wheels I know of. The 17x7 weighs 14 lbs.
