Really random, but I thought I would share something I found out this weekend. I took off my wheels to paint my calipers, and while I waited for the paint to dry, I decided to clean out the inside of the wheels. On the inside of one of the spokes, the work "Enkei" was there with their symbol...just thought that was interesting.

Yup, Nissan has a contract with Enkei to produce a lot of their wheels. Like BMW and BBS, Mitsubishi and OZ, etc

I'm love OEM's, I found out too when I painted my Calipers. Even my last Coupe, '02 Acura RSX Premium, OEM was by Enkei.

Just a random question, what kind of paint do you use to paint your calipers?

I used the duplicolor kit - but for the second time. The first time I did it the paint was a couple years old and I used the enclosed brush - it chipped away in a few weeks. I just bought more and used a real brush, also putting on 3 coats. It looks a lot better now, and I'm hoping it stays ok...
