Enkei' name comes from 遠州軽合金株式会社 Enshu Lightweight Alloy Co. Limited. Abbreviated from the main 2 characters of "Enshu (place name) and "Lightweight", you get "遠 軽", that is "En kei".

Check out our website for the full range of Enkei’s truck wheels! The new overlander would look great on any of those vehicles.

The way we say it in the video “ehn-kei” is the technically correct pronunciation. “Inky” is a commonly accepted way to say it as well
