I used to call it en-kay, but my bro said it's ink-y, so I met him halfway, and started calling it en-key.

I called Enkei "inky" as a kid.

If I am not mistaken though it is actually pronounced "On-kei". Rhymes with "eye."

Tayne.........T-en..............we all mean the same. Me and my friend, even my bro say it
T-N or T-en. Here is my reason: Aren't E and I vowels. So if a vowel is in front of another letter, it has no sound, just a name. Confused???? u would say "A" not, "Ayyy." Remember ur kindergarden teachings. They made u do all the sounds and stuff.

So The "i" would make the e, a E. Hence, T and then N.

I have a funny feeling my reason is all **** up.

Whatevery, the answer is that we all mean the same. Its the company with that green coilover character, lol.

Untill I saw that thing on the Speed channel, I thought it was pronounced like the the 3 eyed guy from DBZ (Tea-in). Now i say it with a long "A" sound.
