Enkei' name comes from 遠州軽合金株式会社 Enshu Lightweight Alloy Co. Limited. Abbreviated from the main 2 characters of "Enshu (place name) and "Lightweight", you get "遠 軽", that is "En kei".
This is exactly right. A combination of Enshu and Keigoken (Spelling may not be exact). Proud employee of the Enkei America Columbus plant for the last 16 years.
Lmfao as an employee of Enkei in Walesborough / Columbus Indiana we all say it Enkeì with the I being the dominant sound at the end also a big yeeyee for Columbus 🎉🎉🎉
@@caliclassicstv2024 Man I’d like to see that! Congratulations, yes, I second that thought, it’s mind blowing learning how they pronounce that and all the groovy trends and local vocal talk is definitely a part of the car culture and history. I’m going to check out your Chanel and subscribe. If you can share your documentary when it’s done please, I’ll be waiting for it
When it's a company such as Enkei that's been around for 70 years, and their wheels have been on Formula One cars, Rally Cars, Drift Cars, BMWS, Lexus, Toyota, Nissan, GM and others. YOU CAN SAY CHEAP 😂
Who cares when ur gonna get ur tires changed from some vendor anyway They gonna charge u the same amount if its the rpf1 or any other wheel Y make life easier for them if they not gonna give u a discount and change ur winter to summer towers for 50 anyway Nice add tho

I will say I assume that the pronunciation with they I sound accented is correct since it how the owner MR Suzuki says it!
I looking at a set of Enkie Raijins for my Accord
Do American Racing Next!
Show Enkei truck rims that look good on the following: Santa Cruz, Maverick, Ridgeline.
Check out our website for the full range of Enkei’s truck wheels! The new overlander would look great on any of those vehicles.

I’m Originally from Norwalk and was happy to see your comment I thought I was trippin we all said ‘inky’
@@jamescorfield534 i laces and deep dish centerlines. I’ve never had any enkeis. But they were real popular
Ankay lol. Everyone outside California calls them that?! They’ve been Inkies since forever. Must be the Whatever Effect, tomatoe tomato lol
mostly all of honda/ acura stock wheels are enkei.. maybe that's why they are stolen so often..
The word cheapest doesnt instill much faith in a company name when it comes to safety.

I had enkei on my Subaru summer set. Two of them broke hitting minor pot holes, will never buy these trash wheels again
Which Enkei model did you have? Typically they're pretty strong for entry level wheels
Reps

Nice add tho
The rest of us say it like ‘Inky’ so weird to hear this guy say it ‘Ankay’ I swear every single person I know calls them ‘Inkies’ am I trippin?
The way we say it in the video “ehn-kei” is the technically correct pronunciation. “Inky” is a commonly accepted way to say it as well
@@ThreepieceUsI was wondering. As long as nobody hates on me for saying it this way I’m good. Thanks.
"for the love of God" Turned me off completely, so, bye, bye.
