I searched up that they were either ENKEI or KOSEI. I actually don't see their manufacturing symbol anywhere...

mines an 08' sport.

How about the weight of these pigs?
No but seriously lol they are really heavy and take away from the MPG and zoom factors.
Lite shoes are the only way to run!

I have an 08 Sport too. I had them off for cleaning last week. They have the Enkei stamp on the inside of the spoke.

*Edit* I mean to say mine had the stamp. I don't see the stamp on yours.

 

Yeah... about that... I'm driving on a donut and I don't have the money to fork up for a set of new rims + tires. But I wouldn't mind strapping four of those pigs to my car. I think my mpg would probably go up to infinity since I won't be using gas anymore. But yeah... I was wondering if there is no stamp maybe b/c the "honda motors" part is where the manufacturers label is supposed to be at. is there any difference between kosei and enkei and "honda oem" wheels? If not, then it probably doesn't make a difference if I buy either one and slap another dunlop digityre on there huh?

 

I know the GE8 wheels are made by Kosei.

 

Ya got me there! I was LOL! when I read that!

The sp31 dulops get a lot of bad rep here, me included till is saw the wieght of them, 18 lbs! most tires are in the 20-22 lbs range. Tire Rack and see what Jim can do $ wise.

 

sp31?

I'm using Dunlops Direzza Digi-Tyre, are these that bad to you guys?

 

On the GD3, "Honda OEM" is either the Kosei or Enkei rim, depending on who their current stock was from on the day they made your car. There are some slight differences in appearance between the two manufacturers - there is a small tone (as in color) difference and there is a tool mark difference in the face. Beyond that, they are identical. [FWIW Kosei is slightly yellower and has a more pronounced toolmark]

Contact local junkyards - they tend to have sets of three wheels - and hold one up next to your car. You'll be able to tell right away if it's a match or if it's the other maker that you need.

 

looking closely at the pic, did you grenade your wheel? the top left corner looks like it was shredded.

 

There was a rock on the highway and I couldn't get out of the lane so i hit the rock that was about 4"x3"x5" @45mpg.

I only need 1, it took out the front left, I put on the doughnut on the front left til i could reach a gas station and changed the spare from the front left to the rear left. Didn't wanna mess up my drivetrain.
