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.

Only thing that American Racing has done right in a long time

The AME TM-02 wheels is produced by Enkei's MAT Technology! Enkei's MAT Technology makes the AME TM-02 wheel stronger, lighter and with less Deflection than most wheels. The AME TM-02 wheels offer with near Forged Qualities for Less Cost!

The AME wheel line is no longer being distributed in the US.
