Default Opinion on Enkei Wheels

I don't really care for that design, but Enkei does make a high quality wheel. They are used by the OEMs on many cars.

I'm not a real big fan of the center section..makes the wheel look too much like all the ricer wheels.

Enkei makes any wheels that fit our cars (offset/bolt pattern)?? I was always told that they were (Japanese) import ONLY (like Volk, Motegi, Rays, Panasport etc.).
