    Enkei or OZ?

    I just bought a set of rims from an EVO 6

    I was told it was OZ rims and it says so on the stickers, but when I checked on the inside it was written "Enkei" and also "Mitsubishi"

    Nice nice wheels mate, I actually prefer those to the 6 spoke enkei's, always liked those evo6 ones but always thought they were OZs?

    .. Did you get a good deal on those?

    The wheel sticks out quite a bit tho against your leggie?

    Did Enkei make the wheels for OZ?

    Hehe! thought exactly the same.

    Oz, Enkei etc must surely be made by same manufacturer - in Italy?

    Edit: Just to add ...... when I ordered the centre caps for my TSW's they came from Yokohama HQ, so there must be a realationship there also?

    Apparantly, it's an Oz licence design manufactured by Enkei under licence to Mitsubishi. Cheaper to buy the licence and make them than get them made by Oz

    Hmm interesting... Just thought it could be some stickers from OZ put on by a private person. But apparently they are put on directly after manufacturing.

    No more pics with them on the car.. Need to get some fresh tires on them first. Perhaps Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225/45

    You want Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's mate Do a search on tyres and there's loads of opinions.

    They are not the only wheels to come from someone like that.. in NZ you get enkei, 5zigen and advanti wheels from the Nankang supplier...
