Maybe I was just mislead and believed a lie my whole life.
GREAT! Now I'm gonna need therapy! lol

All I know is that me and a buddy went to this warehouse and it was FULL of isles and isles of Enkei boxes and wheels stacked high.
The old man said that he "bought everything they had left and this is it." and gave my buddy a stupid cheap deal on a set of gold/chrome lip Enkeis for his BMW 320i.
Maybe they just changed their forging/manufacturing process when they got into F1 and these were what was made before that or something.
I don't know.
