Hi guys,

Does anyone know what brand wheels these are? They look similar to EMPI 5's but with narrowing spoke.

Those are polished Enkeis. You have to polish them yourself

Thanks guys!

Any difference between the ENKI's and the EMPI's apart form the finish?

the shape of the rib on the spokes is different, the enkei's have more of a spine, the empis are more rounded off

there are also a gazillion repops of empis out there with varying degrees of quality

enkei's are cooler IMO...everyone has empis

I think a polished wheel looks better, more natural than chromed.
