Did you know

TL-P wheels are made by Enkei. I was cleaning them a month ago to store them and scraping away the brake dust and out popped the Enkei logo and "Made In Japan".

I saw someone here said either TL-S or CL-S wheels were made by Enkei. I had CL-S' and cleaned them and didn't notice an Enkei logo.

They also make the ASPEC RSX wheel, which I knew. (Which are similar to Enkei J10's)

Just thought that was interesting.

Yea, Honda's partnership with Enkei dates back to 1947. Enkei was Enshu Keigokin Corp back then. They built the gas tank for the Honda A-Type motorized bike -- Honda's first product.
