Default ISx50 18" ISP Wheels are made by...

So I was in my Lexus dealership today getting my car serviced and I was admiring the wheels they have on display. Anyway I got a chance to look at the inside of the ISP wheels and noticed that they are made by ENKEI. I don't know why but somehow I feel like I've stumbled across a secret and thought I'd share!

Most of Toyota's/Lexus' optional wheels are made by Enkei. Sometimes they just put the TRD logo on the Enkei wheels too.

Joe, check your scale for accuracy. Back in Nov 05 your posted that the G-spider 18x8 rim weighed 25lbs (don't I wish it true). My G-spiders weighed 27.5 & 28.5 lbs respectively (F/R). I would love to have the 10lbs of unsprung weight back. . .

Hmm interesting..

From what I remembered (almost 2yrs ago), I tested the scale with a 10lb weight & it was on the money..

Next time a G-Spider shows up in my garage (probably never again) I will re-weigh for accuracy...

Even the X-pack 5-spoke wheel is made by Enkei.
