Probably Enki,but it doesnt really matter too much.Everyone made a rim that style,there were only minor differences in the details.

They do say made in Japan and 15" on the rear. On the front there is a VIA emblem but that is it.

Could be Rikens. I have a set in 14", the center of those looks very similar if not exact.

They are Rikens. The enkeis are smooth all the way to the bolt holes.

No way... Makes it hard to sandblast, gloss enamel coat the center and mesh black and polish the lip... Which those sorely need.


And tires would be kinda helpful...




AFTER polishing the lip.

+1. WAY DIFFERENT. PLUS the 83 limited editions rims ONLY came in 14". The center section mesh seems to be protruding OUT of the rim versus these that are just flat.

Dont forget, the LE rims were 4 X 110.

These are for 4 X 114.3. Definately not LE rims.
