Tenzo wheels

Hey guys,

Only just recently stumbled on Tenzo wheels.. I think a lot of them look great and I know that most are rip-offs or imitations of previosuly done rims.

Does anyone own them and have any feedback on them at all>?

I have read that they are relatively heavy and some people would not go near them... but for a reasonable price... would you even consider buying some to replace my MY06 sti enkei's?? or am I speaking insanity?

I do not know much about wheels etc.. but love the look of the Type M version 1 and version 2 for my wagon. The link is below:

I'm not intending to buy any wheels though.. but love to ponder the thought!

feedback welcome! =D

I've got Tenzo Type M V1's in 18" on my wagon and I'm pretty happy with them. They're cheap so of course they aren't going to be light but I didn't notice any difference between the standard wheels.

Swapping from Sti Enkei's to these would be crazy talk in my opinion though.

Yeah I will stick with my enkei's for now... lol. Dont get me wrong. I love em.. just cant afford Volk's or RAYS. hehe

I had the unfortunate incident of letting my partner drive the car a few days back and so being double de-merits weekend and as I left my licence at home... I decided to let her drive.

first corner she turns... *GGGGrrrrRriind* gutter rashed almost a quarter of the back wheel. She has done it before to another and another. I'm in pain looking at them at the moment. :evil:

ahh sh*t happens I guess.

Yeah, stick with the Enkei's unless you upgrade to 19's. Otherwise in 18's, the Enkei's are the best bet. If you're not happy with the colour, now is the good opportunity to powder coat them a colour you like when you get them repaired.

I can't remember exactly but I think they were around the $2k mark with Hankook tyres.

I got them from WheelWorx in Adelaide - http://wheelworx.com.au/
