That's Enkei light!!! I also noticed a few 16x8 in 4x100 with offsets in the mid 30s too. These did not exist a couple of years ago when I was first looking. Might be time for a new set of boots!

Yeah they're forged, so are sooper light, well sorta forged. They are made using a process called "semi solid forging" whatever that is :D The ones you want are the Type C...that's the light one the racers use in Japan.

Niice wheels on the Civic 8)

Hmmm mine are probably much overweight, but not one to care when just daily driver and these chrome Avanti's were $1400.00 with Tyres...

Good bling for the buck 18 months ago, probably much cheaper now.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
