Default need help identifying rims

sup guys/girls. i was just wondering if these rims are the stock rims that came on this 87 civic. im sure some *** wipe painted them bronze years ago but with a little love i think i can make them look alot better. i really like them. they are 13". i was thinking of polishing the face and lips and painting the webbing black from the backside. thanks

cool. my girl hates them but i think they might look ok once i put a little work into them. did these rims come factory on any car or are they aftermarket? thanks mr jenkins.

enkei is a very popular company and they also made a lot of the honda oem rims we have now.. anyways, there could be a possibility that it was a dealer option but i have no proof of that so i will rule it out..

well i did a google search and in not sure my rims are enkei mesh. i cant find anything in a 13". maybey they are a knockoff like you stated earlier. everything i found was 15" and up with a deeper lip. as you can see my lips are pretty flat and not deep at all. here is a pic of what i found. these seem more deep

im pretty sure those are enkei 92... to confirm its enkei, just remove the wheel and look for the stamp in the back... if not possible ARE wheels, but remember back in the 80's there only a few company out there make wheels... so the company buys the wheels and market it with there brand... but all made by one company, pretty much. as you said your flat and the one you found has a lip, well they made alot of offset to work for your car... the ones you got im guess offset 40... the black one with lip like a 20 offset... so yeah...

thanks for the help guys. i guess it doesnt really matter what brand they are. all that matters is i like them and with a little love and alot of stripper and sandpaper plus paint, they will make a cool set of rims. im going to put these on my eg hatch to see how they look after i paint them. im pretty slammed so they might work on some 185/70/13. once the sun goes down i will remove the rim and see what i find.
