yeah enkei makes most(if not all) of the alloy wheels for honda. i also think honda offers the nicest looking OEM alloys i've ever seen, especially the stock s2k wheels.

Ah, I see, last night I painted my calipers and saw the Enkei label on the inside of the wheel, good company! The BBS thing does not surprise me as the Best Motoring Video series is filled with "half truths" and incorrect facts.
It was fun watching the S in action with Gan-San behind the wheel going sideways though a corner, our mighty S did not fair well against the Z in the race, could not keep up on the straights but closed the gap in every corner, but in fact kept the 343hp M3 ($55k) behind it for 3 laps!!!
I will bring the series down to the Outer Banks Run, maybe we could show it in the Conference room we have booked at night?
PS. The S was stock of course, Soy

I'm going to demand new wheels from Honda. I'm sure there is a warranty.
Bump, anyone else notice this?

What do you mean by "inside inner holes?" I want to check this.

Yes the stocks I notice scratch very easy and the dirt or dust from the brakes get collected in those inner portions as well. I just make a point of after every drive to detail spray and wipe.

I only have like 1660 miles on it that is garage kept and not driven in the winter.

hey the euro 00-01 stock wheels are a bit diffrent than 02-03 wheels
the 00-01 wheels are extended(the spokes) to the maximum but they do not have a polish whatsoever
the 02-03 appear to be smaller and have that nice polish
im sure of this for the euro spec s2000s only!
