Default Old School Enkeis...look like panasports

Ok i just saw the post about the civic with the red panasports, anyways i have the chance to pick up some of these enkeis that look like them for cheap, and i cant ever find the actual model name for these so if anyone knows fill me in...just want your input, i know all the bling guys will say theyre ugly and all the autocross guys will say they are great (a little stereotyping there for you ) but i like finding rare wheels or anything in general, anyways, the ones i can buy are the 13" gold with silver lip, a little scratched up but i figure with a little tlc and a good powdercoating they could be nice track wheels or whenever i dont want to get my others scratched up, and i think theyre pretty rare...and i know they look like panasports but i dont think they are thier knockoffs, i havent seen any panasports this old, however i could be waaay off on that....also if i get them powdercoated what color would you guys do for use on a milano gsr...TIA




btw those are pics from some old posts, both by psucrx i think

but they arent, miata rims dont fit honda hubs unless you machine them out, these fit without that, so they look a little like them yes

no, i know that i have seen it done and it is sometimes necessary, maybe not on crx's but i know on integras you sometimes do, but thanks for your input on something you obviously have no clue about

Look like minature RS-8's. Enkei also makes a lot of OEM wheels.
