I'm not sure that Enkei has a distributor, and if they do, I haven't heard of them. So, Enkei will be expensive (about 1.2K for an 18x10 in either chrome or silver) but NOBODY's gonna sell you these rims for less.



E-Bay is always an option, but I don't recommend it unless the seller is close so you can see them and pick them up. You could try getting them from Japan too, don't know what that would be like financially or in a timely manner, but these things are the cream of the crop in mesh rims.



Good Luck, I'll be happy to help you however I can, just because I freaking LOVE these things.

It is, another alternative is HRE in that price range, you can choose color, offset, etc. with them though so that's a plus.

I too have been under the impression the Aegis was discontinued. Guess it is time to start calling around if you are really interested.

I believe the Konig Imagines are a copy of that wheel..and look almost exactly the same. You can find those for sale almost anywhere, and are fairly cheap.
those look NOTHING like Enkei Aegis rims.



there was a guy benny selling the rims around August, so do a search

limiting the search to the for sale section, and

maybe try to PM/email him and see who he sold the rims too and

maybe that guy wants to sell them now?



by the way, when those rims where new, chrome plated were $700-$800

new and the hypersilver ones were cheaper, they were nowhere near $1200

a rim ever.

Konig :





Enkei:





They're not identical, but pretty close I think. I was just offering another suggestion since the Enkeis seem hard to find and very expensive.

good looking out, in person though they dont look the same, there

is something about the aegis, only when you see them in person

would you know.



I know there is only so much you can do with a mesh rim, but enkei

did a nice job with the aegis, here is those Konigs by the way:
