Easy one here. Please answer the question below for some market research I'm doing. There are two answers (yes or no) with two variances (racers and non-racers). If you were a former racer then you fall in the racer category.
Were you aware that Enkei made motorcycle wheels?

In addition to not knowing they made motorcycle wheels I didn't know they made any wheels, or existed.
It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?
where's the bemused option?!?
I did NOT know.

MX #505
Yes, I only recently found this out. And no, not when I read the first post! Sometime over the summer if I recall correctly.
Only found out when I saw the logo on the rim of a bike I owned. Can't remember if it was my old CBR, the GSX-R, or the TL, but they were the factory wheels that came on the bike.
I didn't vote but I thought they supplied OEM wheels to some of the bike makers...not 100% tho.

Yes... I did know that they made motorcycle wheels.
But... I fall into the secret third catagory...
Motorcycle dealer, who knew that they were the OEM wheel supplier for all GSX-Rs and most other Suzukis that have cast aluminum wheels. Going back to at least '96... maybe even prior to that.
LRRS/CCS Amateur #514 / RSP Racing / Woodcraft / MTAG Pirelli / Dyno Solutions / Tony's Track Days / Sport Bike Track Gear / 434racer / Brunetto T-Shirts / Knox / GMD Computrack
Yes, I knew this, and no I don't race.
My '08 CBR600RR factory wheels are stamped Enkei (in addition to being stamped Honda).
I don't think there's anything particularly special about Enkei wheels. They are OEM on bazillions of vehicles.
no bikes currently
OK I voted...
Where's my NWS jro pic?

It's not a trick question. Just that they make wheels that they make wheels that go on motorcycles. (oem, aftermarket, race, street, doesn't matter).
Thanks for all those that voted. Keep em coming please. Like to get up to around 100 votes minimum.

yes I knew but never considered
non racer, i saw an ad for enkei mc wheels in a magazine a few months back.
nine times out of ten its an electric razor, but...every once in a while...its a dildo. of course its company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite article "a" dildo ...and not..."your"...dildo...
non-racer and I knew from cleaning my white rims on the 93 CBR f2...

i voted yes, non-racer. on account of the fact i discovered enkie made bike rims before i went to the track
i learned about them while shopping for new rims for a 12R...however when it came time to purchase i went with marchisini as i knew much more about them and thier quality than any of the other brands...except maybe PM but they didn't have anything i liked.
