picked these up this morning. thanks to a forum member for a great transaction!

hope this isn't considered a double post, but i'd appreciate the brains of the wheel gurus around here for this one. here is a shot of one:

now, i'm aware they're enkeis. i'm also aware that they closely mirror the sc03 as well as the nt03+m series, respectively. still, this isn't what they are. i've search high and low, asked a few in the jdm thread and nobody knows which model designation they are. not even the previous owner.

anyone have a clue? i actually prefer this cleaner design over the aforementioned designs. i also love the thin, multi-spoke design that lends strength to the wheel while not sacrificing looks or weight. a quick weigh-in reveals them to be in the 18-19 lbs region and the only flaw is a bit of missing paint on the wheel pictured, which is pretty good considering the obvious age of them. they're 17x7 and are going to get some love from me over the next few weeks in the form of a touch-up, light sanding and a nice wax job.

can't wait to mount them. boo-yah. :boink:

SCO3

these are the closest one's

closest does not equate to correct. i'm looking for the actual model designation, not what they look like in comparison to new models.

if you'll read my op, you'll see that i realize they look like the sc03, but they aren't.

might as well just e-mail enkei themselves...

edit: contact info for enkei is nowhere to be found...

Enkei J10s?

Centercap looks different. His rims have 10 lug holes too, that picture only has 8.

 

[ebhcr]

Older version perhaps? I'd think it was an older model of a certain wheel.

those are also 10 spoke...

Yes, and yours are 12 spoke.

i just don't know, and enkei doesn't list their e-mail addy on their site...

oh, mystery rims...

 

[ag bullet]

It isn't the J-10. Those have a polished lip and are not in an offset that is Mazda3 friendly...

 

[emat206]

Maybe?

Glad you finally recieved them!

I'd be interested in knowing what model Enkeis they are too - I tried looking them up before too but I couldn't find anything on them.

Nope, still wrong.

although the rt01s look almost exactly the same, mine still have two bolt patterns available. hmmm... i'll start with the rt01s and go from there...

 

[emat206]

The bolt pattern is obviously different. But I did come across a really old forum post by some dude selling his set. He mentioned they were 5 bolt 114.3 mm. So there's a good possibility they are rt01s.

[biped]

they might be earlier versions of the rt01, but that is the closest by far. thanks.

 

[j-so]

Apparently it's a JDM model but I can't find the name.

oh ho!

thanks, j-so! wow, i can't believe you found a pic of them. comforting to know that I probably won't see another set on another car anywhere i drive my own car... that kicks ass.

i'll keep looking...
