Thanks guys; I checked them out. How come tenzo's arent that list? Are they no good? ALso how come when I go on tire rack. they won't let me choose the offsets? I want to get offsets around 32-38 but they highest they'll let me pick is 42 or something.

Do a bit of research about width and offset, u can get more selection from vendor here like Evasive, Vivdracing .. etc check out the Evo X Vendor thread and contact the vendor, im sure they can recommend something
like i said, they just show u size they believe it will fit the RA with no prob at all ... they wont show anything aggressive that you might need to roll ur fender..

Tenzo R is popular for the price vs design .. i wouldnt start saying its bad but its definitely not as good as the other brands that were mentioned..
same things goes for Rota..

well you should get waht is more comfortable for you. What do you want to get out of a set of rims?

Personally I have a set of Gram Lights 57Optimise Time Attack. I didn't get a crazy aggresive fitment cause i'm not willing to roll my fenders and make modifications to accomodate them. Initially i wanted to, but its not worth it in my mind. I can still run 235/40 tires, but 245 would be ideal, but too much work.

A lot of people on the board run Tenzo and Rota, but personally I'm not a fan. Depends on the person?

i didnt mention any of those brands because u were asking for "reputable" brands..
Axis can be considered as good since their wheels are manufactured by Rays (not 100% sure)
and most of Tenzo R design looks very similar to JDM wheels...

u can also check out Work Emotion, SSR, 5Zigen..

most of the time wheels coming from Philippine, Thailand and Taiwan are consider "worse" than Japan/USA/Germany products.. (its just the same for every other things)

i guess its only the Axis Circuit that is made by rays (it looks pretty much like a Gram Light)


As for Tirerack ... I would try other vendor if I was u ... or contact them directly ...

thanks bro; you guys been very helpful! Looking for rims is harder than I thought! Whew Been browsing around for at least 2hours now. Looking for an aggressive setup. I'm looking for 18x8.5 offsets around 32-37. When I finally find a wheel I like; the settings are off :[

It really depends on how much u want to spend..
Tenzo R DC6 looks really similar to TE37 with narrower 6 Spokes (or the new Volk G2)

and Tenzo R Tracer is very typical JDM 5 spokes design.. it looks similar to G-Games 99B ..


just trying to suggest u something ..
do u really wanna spend 4k on Wheels and Tires? if ure looking at something at the price of Tenzo R ... You can check out Enkei RP03

(it only comes in Silver or Super Brilliant Coating *aka Chrome*)
