The 16" JDM wheels are made by Enkei.

But obviously way too small. They gotta go!

A couple of you guys mentioned the color of the car, that never Even crossed my mind. I do in fact have DGM, so maybe I'm biased. I might not be so smitten by them on a red or blue car, for instance.

Like a lot of you, I prefer a 5 spoke style, so these are totally out of my "comfort zone". It's kinda odd that I do like them so much. Again, could simply be that they match my car so well.

We all came out of the factory naked. Why wear different clothes every day?

I've hated them from the start and the fact they come with garbage tires doesn't help the case either.

Aside from the looks, they're not wide enough and they are sunk way too far into the wheel wells.

They grew on me, to the point where I'm planning to run them as winter wheels. If they were lighter and wider, I honestly wouldn't mind them as a summer setup.

I have seen a couple of guys who added 5mm spacers all around and dropped the car an 1 to 1 1/2 inches and the stock wheels looked great. No gap and they were moved out closer to the edge of the fender. Also no rubbing. Then if you want a different look plasti-dip or paint. Replace the rubber with 225 or 235 and your good to go unless you are part of the show crowd.
