Well, it does say Enkei on the rim, and not Mazda. So, I would say Enkei!

sweet, now that i know that, I have to consider getting 3 more spares so I can add some bling to my car... full set of enkei rims!

Edit: they weigh less too dont they? so it should perform better!

They are a lot lighter, but they also look a lot smaller than the OEM's.

nah, that's just an illusion. They're really 20 inches, 10 wide. Clearly better traction. The MS8 will use the 8's spares for rims to handle all that power.
