I think those are replicas. Unless Keystore and Enkei are the same company...which i doubt.

They are a subsidiary of LKQ Corporation. If you look on Ebay, you will see tons of parts for sale from LKQ. They are basically a recycling company, taking wrecked cars and parting them out.

These wheels are OEMs that have been repaired.

apparently the only color that will fit is the "silver"

the gunmetal and chrome are 8.5" wide and with the offset they will poke out..

just some FYI
