Look at the inside of the wheels to see if they are indeed Enkei rims, there's gotta be some kind of markings. Who knows someone could of slapped a set of Enkie center caps stickers on some no name brand wheel... Just saying.

Reminds me of the Antera 143.

Any markings under the center cap or around the center bore? If not it could be like searching for a needle in a haystack... If they are from Japan it will have the "JW" markings...

Hope you're finding the model name to sell it or refrain from buying. Looks like cornerstore wheels that somebody slapped the enkei tag on it cause I've never seen that horrific rims (no offense). But if you can't find any markings then it's a dud.

Actully the JWL logo doesnt mean its made in Japan. All it means is that it meets Japan's standards to be sold in Japan, like DOT. The JWL stamp can be found on 90% of all the wheels on the market whether they are made in Japan or any other country
