I may be wrong, but I thought all S2000 wheels were Enkei.

So far, all wheels were made by enkei. I just found that out myself. It's stamped on the backside of the wheel.

This is the first I've heard of this. Were they actually designed by Mugen, or are you just making an assumption based on their similarity to the MF10's?

Also, there's a difference between who manufactures the wheels (Enkei), and who actually designed them. I'd wager dollars to donuts the S2000 wheels have all been designed in house by Honda.

They are ugly. Look like they belong on an Accord V6.

They look like a sunflower...so my guess is that they were designed by an 8-year-old school girl.

This may be true ONLY if you quantify your statement by stating "in North America". Europe and Japan have had wheels made by other manufacturers in the past. The JDM 6-Spoke I believe was a BBS and I forgot the maker of the English wheel that went through a recall several years ago due to bad clear coating and corrosion.
