what rims do i have?
heres another random post. i was recently interested in looking to see exactly which rims i have. i have tried everything and haven't come close to finding which i have except for this one website. http://www.rimsdealer.com/wheels-rim...2520Gloss.html
the only difference is that mine are 17x7 not 17x7.5. but theyre damn close. my rim on the back says monoblock racing like any other rim says. only difference is when i bought the rims on craigslist, it came with 1 center cap from enkei. i threw it away cause i plan on buying different center caps. but I had figured that's what the guy before me did. lost all the originals and bought different kinds. anyways, please help out with this.

They sure look like Enkeis, but they would surely have ENKEI stamped somewhere. Probably on the back of the spokes as well as along the outer lip or on one of the spokes. My guess then would be knock-off Enkeis, and the previous owner put Enkei center caps on to complete the look.
I just bought Mustang Cobra wheels, only to discover they're replicas after much research...

they don't say enkei anywhere on the rim. I've cleaned them and inspected them thoroughly one day and all they say is some small symbols like jj or something of that sort. I mostly want to know what they are and what they're worth. I know it isn't much but it would help me sleep better. lol.
sorry to hear about that though. im pretty sure your the only one that know though, just by looking I don't think anybody could tell. I bought these in the beginning of last year, I just never got around to looking for the exact kind.
catmandew. some guy backed into my car on thankgiving. i'm getting a settlement check from his insurance company, but my car is now a salvaged. hopefully I have enough money to buy fender, fender well, door hinge, since mine is seizing up on me, and inner door panel, since my seizing door hinge helped me break my door panel in too. lol. if I happen to have any money left over id buy a front bumper. but I know I wont have enough to complete that list plus a pain job.

I would tend to agree. I picked a sole 4 lug one off of a junkyard Prelude and turned it into a table.
....well, except it has Motegi MR7 engraved on a spoke from the factory. So I imagine they are knockoffs, probably Chinese. Sorry for breaking it to you OP.

haha. thanks n1t3mare. your the best. lol.
mine are replica's considering mine doesn't have the motegi symbol anywhere on the rim. I have also seen that they are discontinued. I see one on ebay for 60$ off a dodge neon. lol. so needles to say, mine aren't worth 2 shiny pennies. haha. thanks again though.
