I have these in 18x8 +40 gloss gunmetal on my modern metallic steel 10th Gen Civic hatchback; the colors almost look like the same. These things are fire. They look clean, classy and sporty, but not overly aggressive. Bought a set for $895 shipped on BBWheels. Hopefully Alex has price matching for future purchases. Disclaimer: I found MartiniWorks after the fact. Oh and it’s not necessarily a rep. The spokes are slightly thinner and taper a little more towards the rim. There is also a noticeable beveling on the spokes. These traits give it a lightweight, stealthy appearance. To be fair, there’s only so many ways you can make a wheel and Enkei did a good job making the design their own.
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.
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.
What wheel should we talk about next? Let us know below! ⬇

Always enjoyed your energy, Alex! Hope you bring a lot of subs over from FI. 🤙
Saw a Kia Forte GT on these the other day, Actually looked really good and suited it so well.

Hell yeah! Be sure to snag em from us if you need them
I wanna get these for my TSX!
Looking at these hard for my Rx-8.
Gels what ya think?
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. :(
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 🔥
What wheel look best for the 2017 Honda civic coupe ?
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
Have them on my gti and I like my Walmart TE
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
Would you ever fo gmr wheels like the evoke or paladin
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!

I was either gonna go with these or the White Kansei Astros for my 24 civic hatch. Thoughts?
These bc jdm
i want a set of these on my camaro.
fite me.
They look like all the other 5 and 6 spoke wheels you and fitment industry geek on.
Best you keep riding your horse 🙄
I thought you were with fitment industries
No sir, left in 2022. Started our own thing with Dakota and Gels instead.
Teehee’s but are cool
Offset 45 is not fit most evos..sad..
1lb wheel weight = 20lbs sprung weight? 🤨. By far the highest ratio I've heard yet. Got any reference sources?
Too bad no 5x120
I have these on my FK8 in 5x120.
@@awhitt1044 not 17x9 though
What’s the point of buying this? Wheel theif is every where
Is that a real question?
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?
