Shouldn't the dash and HVAC controls be Jeco? It's even on their website.

Good find! I will add this but Denso definitely still played a part (as their logo is on these parts). Sometimes it's tricky because a part can be a multi-company collaboration!

By the way, I finally have an answer for this question. Hitachi makes the standard wheels using their SCUBA process.

I have the OEM 16'' wheels and they have an Enkei stamp. I assume the 17'' wheels are made by Hitachi?

The stock 17" wheels have no manufacturer's marking. I was wondering for the longest time who made them.

Anyways, love this list but i'm sad that the list had to be made in the first place due to elitists.

Isnt it funny how the new 2017 model engine specs are pretty much what he was telling you about? Did that thought cross your mind?

Not once. At any rate, his presentation was sketchy at best and childish at worst.

Hey, thanks! I never thought to check the 16 inch ones since they aren't sold in the US.

Thats your opinion, he was talking about the exact same changes that we are reading about today.... So maybe it was you being childish or biased for calling him a liar and making a joke of it without getting the facts straight

Yeah, I wasn't the one arguing with him for weeks. Maybe you should put your misplaced anger elsewhere.

How did you purchase the 16" OEM wheels?

I dont have any misplaced anger, im replying to what u said earlier. Check above, you were making a joke about the guy who gave you details of the new models specs when for all anyone knew it couldve had a turbo slapped on it. He mightn't have given you the mechanical blueprint that a lot of people required here to even entertain the thought that anything like that existed. For all anyone knew it wouldve had a 2.5 v6 slapped on.... Just sayin

I looked up what SCUBA stands for:

Again, he could've had great info, but his presentation was poor. Poor enough he got banned. If you need to reply to posts about this guy from about a year ago, like you're doing with me, I can refer you to the thread that got him banned. There are plenty of "told you so" people you could argue with there.
