How Are MOTEGI and ENKEI Wheels?
#16
Definitely the Enkei's! More refined design, lighter wheel, and their casting process is better. The Motegi's are obviously a knock off version. Even the fake perimeter connectors around the perimeter look cheap.
You'll be pleased with the Enkei product. Infiniti obviously is. Good luck and post pictures when you're done!

Going by looks alone, I think the Motegi's look better actually. They're not as sharp at the points of the star. It all boils down to personal preference. If you like both designs equally and can afford the extra bump in price, go for the Enkei's because of the name brand.
If you want another opinion, here it is. You can find a nice set of used better name branded wheels with tires for about the same price after buying those Enkeis with tires. You just have to shop around and be patient.

Agreed. Enkei imo makes some of the toughest wheels out there.

So when i called tire rack yesterday they said they have a pair of dunlop all season tires that can get between 40-50K miles out of them. I am going to get 20 inch wheels. is that possible for to get 40-50K out of a tire that supports 20inch rims?

I had some problems with Goodyear Eagle F1's and Yoko S-drives wearing out in 12 months. I switched over to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S with a 400 AA A rating. The only thing I noticed was that the tires tended to have a little less grip. I attributed that to the fact that the treads are a harder rubber compound resulting in less tread wear. They worked great handling, in the rain and the noise was minimal. I don't know what Dunlop tires they recommended.
So it's up to you. If you don't mind replacing your tires every year at $800 - $1000 a whack, go with a low tread rating, all season performance tire.

I mean I probably drive between 10-12K miles a year. i doubt that these tires will get 10-12K out of them. I also don't drive like a nascar driver over here. I mean i just drive my car and cruise on the streets and once in awhile boot the engine. They should last longer than a year.

Also i am coming back home to the north for the months of november and december and was thinking about buying these rims pretty soon. Should i wait to get them and put them on due to Snow, Ice, cold weather ect... or if i put them on ill be fine?
