Who makes the 2002 &/or 2003 MP5 rims?
- Thread starter PBH
- Start date
I was walking past a Dodge Stratus or something like that in a parking lot and the wheels looked the same or similar to the polished P5 rims just with a different (Dodge) center piece. I was occupied keeping an eye on my 3 year old so he did not get away from me Ha Ha. So I did not get a good look at them but they looked similar.
its definitelly Enkei ... i can confirm this because i just put my 03 LX stock rims in storage ... and i accidentlly dropped one ... OOOUCH ... got a little scratch on it now ... :mad: ... but when picking the wheel up i noticed Enkei type on the inside of the wheel ... i have to go back to my storage tomorrow ... so if anyone wants me to post a pic for documented proof ... just say so ...
I actually have worked for a wheel manufacturer so I may be able to shed some light on this. Enkei is a large manufacturer. So large in fact that they are well-known in my industry to sub-contract their wheel manufacturing for OEM applications because you can only do so much capacity before you compromise quality for quantity. So even though it may say "Enkei" on it (i'll check my stockies soon) it could have been cast by some other manufacturer for Enkei. Even Prime wheel makes a "Whole lot" of wheels for OEM that is why they dont do as much aftermarket as they used to. And as far as who made it that is as much of a puzzle as to who made the parts that make up the mazda you drive today or any other make/model. One thing I do know having worked for a wheel manufacturer is dont believe all that you read on the back of your wheel!
