ok here we go..

scion oem wheels are not enkei

enkei provides an OPTIONAL or an AFTERMARKET OPTION for wheels purchased at the dealership. THEY DO NOT MAKE OEM WHEELS.

do you understand what oem means? - origianl equipment manufacturer - A company that produces hardware to be sold under another company's brand. enkei doesn't do this. rays does

The reason they changed there name from Datsun to Nissan wasnt because Datsun had a bad reputation. Its because they wanted to market a single name worldwide that would increase the possibility of advertising campaigns, brochures, and promotional materials that could be used across countries, also to simplify product design and manufacturing. There was a confusion of having Datun in one Country to Nissan in another. Today, Nissan is still managed by the original creaters of Datsun. Even In 2001, Nissan marketed their D22 pick-up model in Japan with the name Datsun. The new 370 design has similar body lines from previous Datsun models, so saying that Datsun is not present in any of the cars is far from true.

also that volk sticker should look like this one on the lip.. thats why it throws it off.. the design is very different then the one u posted.

what about wheels on supersports? they come on the bike but aren't labeled as enkei's. the only way you know they're made by enkei is because they're stamped on the inside. is that not considered being an oem? i'm not trying to stir up ____, i'm just wondering.
