Enkei has added new variants for two of its iconic wheels in the Neo-Classic line, a selection of wheels that have evolved with modern production processes but still retain their classic form. The Apache 2 Neo and Mesh 4 Neo now come in a two-piece design and in both “lo” and “hi” disc, promoting a wider range of customization.
The Enkei Apache 2 design was first released in 1979, and is known for its cross-spoke pattern and machined spoke top, which accentuates the mounting holes. The Apache 2 Neo is available in red, gold, and black.
The Mesh 4 was released in 1982, and its simple, timeless design has graced many kyusha since. The mesh design has a wider center but longer spokes that extend towards the edge of the wheel, which make it look one size bigger and a tad more aggressive. The Mesh 4 Neo is available in black, gold, and silver.
Both wheels come only in the 4×100 lug pattern and range in sizes from 16x5J to 17x9J, giving modern cars such as the ND Mazda Roadster and Daihatsu Mira Tocot an option to have a retro Japanese barrel. The wheels will be released sometime in May 2021 and prices range from ¥47,300 to ¥60,500.
amazing
Sigh…
I don’t know whether to be happy or sad, yet.
I have a set of the original, 15×7, two-piece Enkei 92s on my 1979 Celica. When I first opened JNC and saw the headline, I thought it would great to buy a set of these (especially the Apache 2 Neo) for my dormant-project 240Z. But, alas and alack, 4×100 only!?!
I hope Enkei expands the line to include a 4×4.5, version, with an appropriate RWD offset (0 ~ +12, or so)…
Enkei US – pleeeeeease sell these here in the States. Thank you.
I have a set of Enkei three-[piece wheels I got from SuperShops (SoCal) back in 1979, but I don’t know what model it is… Polished rim, gold center, disc with holes. I have them shod with 215/50-13 on my TE27 SR5 Corolla.
