Thoughts on Enkei wheels?

I searched for information on Enkei wheels, but didn't find much of anything. I am thinking of using some Enkei wheels for track. Any thoughts of weight, strength, value or other? Wheels are BBS honeycomb mesh style 15x7, quantity of four. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Enkie is a very good quality wheel. Produced major rally wheels for the like of audi for awhile. I believe CART and Indy used Enkie for quite some time as well. Mostly forged wheels. Most of their track designs are very like and strong.

Nope, definitely a good wheel....... I LOVE the old RP05 wheel they used to make....

Not too much to add, but I know they are very good quality wheels.

Do they produce wheels for Porsche bolt pattern?

I have NEVER seen an Enkei wheel on a 911. I'm not saying they don't have one, but I bet I would of seen one by now, especially since aftermarket items for old 911's are drying up.

these are definitely 5 X 130MM Porsche pattern wheels. someone suggested Enkei based on the 4 bolt version on his 914. i don't have that at the moment to compare, but based on his photo they looked identical. a quick check turned up no manufactirers markings. 5 1/2 X 15 i'm guessing these were late-60's to mid-70's.
