Are these Enkei's real?

[Schwebe101]

Hello tuners, the Talon I recently bought had these thrown on it. I know these are some pretty pricey wheels and I know that there are many replicas made. I've tried finding ways of telling if they are fake or real but I didn't come up with much? I have some mediocre pictures but I doubt that will be enough for you guys to tell. Oh, and If they are real, anyone know the name of this model?

They look real to me.

Uh, yeah, those look real. But "real Enkei" rims is not something you hear too many people asking or caring about. That's like asking "is that a real Fossil watch?".....

Now if you were talking about a set of Rays, SSR, HRE, et al, that's a different discussion.

They looks like an older version of the Enkei ES6.

Really? Hmmm might be worth cleaning up and using, or just selling if they are real

Oh my bad, I just heard some of my friends saying that they were kinda rare. Sorry!

If you like them better than what you have now, why not?

Eh well both wheels need cleaned up and repainted. The rear of these are missing the center caps. But I have no clue what kind these are so I can't find center caps

Wasn't trying to be a jerk, but Enkeis are pretty common. They're a step up from a knock-off wheel brand like R1, MB, Drift, XXR, Speedy, etc and they have some nice models (RPF1, NT03, RP03), but they aren't anything "rare" per se.

But who care...rock'em man

Oh, and look in the inner barrel of the rim and see if you can find a model number. Then you can call Enkei and order up some replacement caps.

Sweet! Didn't think about that! Thanks man!

Get out more.

Well I'm sorry, this is my first car and I am only 16. So I don't really know how I am supposed to know this knowledge without asking people. And no one around me knows much about cars, so I just turn to you guys. Plus I posted in the Newbie section because I figured I would get heat somehow about it if I posted in another section. Guess I was wrong

I believe Mr. Cinder was implying that I need to get out more. He must be an Enkei fan.

Don't mind me, I'm just an idiot haha

Enkei is a good brand. A brand that is also used in the gt and f1 races. Now rota... that's a different planet. You can't compare enkei to rota's or R1, drag and other lower brands.
