A reader was questioning my categorization of Silver Star wheels under the Yamaco brand instead of the Enkei brand. This explains the reason for that. Yamaco sold a fairly wide range of accessories and parts from wheels to decal packages. Early Yamaco wheels, like the Silver Star Three-Piece (later re-named […]
