alright, so while doin' an oil change the other day. i was just laying under the car letting the rest of the few drops of oil drain. and i look over 2 the inside of my rim, and i notice "ENKEI" stamped on one of the inside spokes! i know these rims are stock, but did pontiac/gm actually put enkei's on the gp's? here is a pic 2 show what rims i have:

GM probably doesn't make the rims themselves. The contract for those rims was probably outsourced to Enkei.

I don't see where its a big deal. GM outsources a lot of the stuff on the car to other companies.

If I remember correctly my polished torque stars were stamped Enkei. My stock white wheels on my 1993 GP SE were stamped Enkei too.

The wheels were outsourced like said above. Made by Enkei for GM.
