I bought a set of Enkei RP02 wheels in 17x7 with a 40mm offset for my hatch. They were advertised as being 4x100 but when I got them they are stamped 4-114.3. I contacted the seller and they swear up and down that they had the wheels on a VW and on a CRX before with no problems.

So I put them on the car and they bolt up. Keep in mind I didnt torque them down all the way just placed them on and screwed the nuts on by hand. I have some hub centric rings I will throw on tomorrow and see if all the lugs are centred.

Now I remembered I had some old AR Libre wheels from a 78 corolla I use to have and I know those are 4x114.3 so I measured them...

And then I measured the Enkei's

So I guess I will throw in some hub centering rings and see if the lugs line up. I just think it's bizarre that they came from Enkei stamped as 4x114.3 and are actually 4x100???

How odd, never seen anything like this before. No signs of re-drilling. Probably a fluke from the factory?
