He says, "Every one pound of unsprung weight that's lost in a wheel equates to about 20 pounds of rotational mass that you're essentially saving." SOOO WRONG!! A wheel is both unsprung weight and rotational mass. Suspension components are not rotational mass but are unsprung weight. Quote from Enkei's RPF1 page, "Every pound of unsprung weight savings has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20lbs." Even that should be clarified to 'Every pound of rotational mass savings has the effect of reducing overall vehicle weight by 20 pounds in terms of power to weight ratio.' Reducing any kind of unsprung weight helps with handling.
Glad you are reviewing these , cuz i have really been thinking on getting a set of these ... peace and love all, keep it rad, stay safe, and buikd on ... l8z my pplz
@@AlexMartini. Good to know. The list of wheels I am looking at is very short (due to a very niche fitment/spec requirement), so all the wheels on my list are considered replica's, but it would be cool to easily know what each is a replica of. Thanks.
What wheel should we talk about next? Let us know below! ⬇
Looking for the Enkei T6R? Get it from the folks who KNOW wheels right here: bit.ly/4eIpr3U

Had these on my TL for the last 3 years. Been super reliable.. except when I bumped into speed bump too hard and bent two weeks ago. :(
Always enjoyed your energy, Alex! Hope you bring a lot of subs over from FI. 🤙
What wheel look best for the 2017 Honda civic coupe ?
I wanna get these for my TSX!
Looking at these hard for my Rx-8.
Gels what ya think?
Saw a Kia Forte GT on these the other day, Actually looked really good and suited it so well.
What’s the point of buying this? Wheel theif is every where
Is that a real question?
They look like all the other 5 and 6 spoke wheels you and fitment industry geek on.
Best you keep riding your horse 🙄
Any chance we can see some coverage on the Enkei RR line? Heavily considering the GTC01RR
Absolutely! We'll go yank one from the warehouse and get it on the schedule!
@@MartiniWorksUnboxed Awesome, appreciate you guys
Are we going to see the Wedssport TC-105X on a future vid? I've wanted to know more about them.
Absolutely. Anything specific you want us to find out about it?
@@MartiniWorksUnboxed how they stack against other flow formed wheels like Enkei and konig

Hell yeah! Be sure to snag em from us if you need them
Too bad no 5x120
I have these on my FK8 in 5x120.
@@awhitt1044 not 17x9 though
I've bought wheels at many different price points and never got this rash he mentioned. I'd deff need my money back though. Nice wheels btw 🔥
Can you add a tag/link on the website that clearly states what it is replicating when a wheel is labelled as a rep?
Adding that now! T6R is a design replica of the TE37. There are some unique differences, but not enough to give it the OG tag unfortunately!

Have them on my gti and I like my Walmart TE
Would you ever fo gmr wheels like the evoke or paladin
i want a set of these on my camaro.
fite me.
Offset 45 is not fit most evos..sad..
I was either gonna go with these or the White Kansei Astros for my 24 civic hatch. Thoughts?
These bc jdm
Teehee’s but are cool
I thought you were with fitment industries
No sir, left in 2022. Started our own thing with Dakota and Gels instead.
1lb wheel weight = 20lbs sprung weight? 🤨. By far the highest ratio I've heard yet. Got any reference sources?
Wheels are for looks only, nobody cares how light they are unless you’re a racing driver 😂 day to day drivers is looks only
Wow Enkei is copying Rays now? hahahaha
There are allowed to be more than one 6 spoke wheel
@@spritekipz01 sure, unless it's from China then it's a copy right🤣
17x8s are 25 lbs lmao "lightweight" my ass.
18x8.5 are 22LBS. I would assume the 17x8's are around 20-21; not 25. Where are you seeing 25?
