Subaru wheels are made by Enkei I guess...

So call me crazy but these $500 Enkei's look a lot like stock Subaru wheels with the center caps knocked out...

Actually, Enkei manufactures the wheels for a large portion of the OEMs.

Enkei has been making OE Subaru wheels for some time now. If you flip the wheel over you will see "Enkei" stamped on the inside of one of the spokes along with the wheel size and offset.

Well thats legit, but I still think labeling stock subaru wheels as Enkei to make more $$ is a bit freshrex don't you think.

It cold be entirely possible that the seller just randomly got the wheels and there are no Subaru markings (centercaps) on them but they do say Enkie on the back.

Yeah they don't have the center caps in the pic, so giving him the benefit of doubt would be a better start I guess. D@mn all you practical thinkers! haha
