2010 S 18" Rims - Two different makes

Did you know that there are two batches of 2010 S 18" Rims? On newer ones, they put ENKEI on the rims but the first batch that came off the line does not have it - they are apparently made by RAYS. I know this may annoy some of you (as you may prefer one brand over another), but which do you think is better? ENKEI or RAYS?

Rays would be a better wheel IMO, but with an OEM wheel you wouldn't know the difference.

The dealer found out for me because I pointed out that the newer cars have ENKEI printed on the rims and the older ones do not. I picked the ENKEI ones because I can brag about them (since they're printed on the rims) when I sell my car :P

Are they both the same exact rims -- both the 9-spoke 18" S rims or whatever it is that you can get on the 2010 now?

actually all of the rims have been made by Enkei for years... yes all 2010's are marketed and logo'ed with the Enkei logo including the FX 20's

mswistak14's rims are not the S rims from 2010. They are the same rims as the older S rims (2008/2007) and are the 18" performance/tire package rims on the 2010 and 2009. These are Enkei wheels.

The 2010 and 2009 18" sport wheels look like:

I have no idea who makes these.

And then there's another 18" wheel option as an accessory:

These are the wheels available on the anniversary edition.

So OP, can you tell us which wheels you're talking about or are you referring to completely separate wheels with different manufacturers?
