Default Opinion on Tenzo's

What is the word floatin around about the Tenzo wheels. I have AWD so I think a little tiny lip (same size all around) looks cheap IMO. I kinda like how the Tenzo Type-M (similar to G-spider) doesn't have a lip. I know they aren't the most expensive wheels in the world but I can't afford the most expensive wheels in the world right now anyways. Suggestions?

Also, what would you guys think of somethin like this murdered out on an Obsidian?

Charcole

Machined Black

Black w/ red ring

Black w/ white ring


Wheels come without the rings if preferred...ie. Charcole

they look awsome on the computer.. they look like crap in person.. and even worse on the car..

i wouldnt put these rims on a Lexus to begin with...
but its not a bad rim for the Acura TSX is250...NO.

and apperently there not very strong.
in terms of rims.. its all about "you get what you pay for"
id recommend some vossens.

He's not looking for suggestions of wheels you guys LOL, he wants to know which one out of those wheels he should get. He clearly stated that he's in no position to get expensive wheels.

if tenzos are your budget.. you know what.. you can actually buy mine.. the look similar to #2 and they are lipped and staggered... hehe if you're worried about the bends... you can actually buy mine as well as it comes with road hazard for the wheels

Why don't you just save up a little longer to get the better wheels so that you don't end up having to sell these for a lot less than what you paid for and then saving again to buy the better ones that you want? Unless you want these. I still would go for the G-Spiders instead since a set will run you only about 600 in the forum in the meantime. Just a suggestion since they are so similar.

Yes, he doesn't need wheels that cost a third of the price of the car.
