I was thinking about getting these and I need all of your opinions! You all saved me from getting konigs so i'm gonna ask for help again..

Should I or should I not?

 

well considering they don't have the correct size for your car... i would say SHOULD NOT!

 

Tenzo are on the same level as Konig and Rota... Junk. I am sure your next thread will be about Rota, so let's get it out of the way.

Let me make it simple, look at the following companies:

Ray's (Volk), Work, SSR, ADVAN, BBS, Wedsport.

 

tenzo r is a good wheel........




























for a d16 civic.......

 

I work with a guy that has a set on his dx civic. Freakin Hillarious!!!!!

 

my o2cents....

"if it fits, go with what you like/afford and fu<k everyone else because it ain't their money...."

 

You understand that not all wheels are created equally, right?

 

they look like copies of many other brands. I at least recognise a couple.

I wouldn't do it. I'd say you should NOT buy them.

 

This is true, but for the money Rota's aren't that bad. Go w/ what you like, and don't get caught up in the big name hype. A Volk will bend just like any other rim, trust me I have seen TE37's do it. I would feel a lot better about trashing a cheaper rim than a set that cost almost 3k.

 

Yeah, Rota's are that bad if you do any form of racing. If you want to be a lame street kiddie then go with Rotas all you want. A good forged wheel will not bend like a Rota cast dorm room special will and you are silly for thinking that.

 

That's funny, I guess you are a hardcore racer that needs only the best for your street machine. The weight difference between a Rota and Volk is negligble and most Rota's are knock offs of name brands. Most people won't know the difference just by looking at them. I don't own either of the rims mentioned above and I am far from a kiddie. If it makes you feel better put your Volks on a go tear it up on the "race track" lame. For this guy, he should find a rim that fits and that he likes, who are you to tell him any different.

 

get you some tenzo r's and hit a couple of good pot holes and bend the **** out of the rim and then come back and apologize for giving him that info


you get what you pay for!!!

 

you're missing the point....I'm stating that "if you like it, buy it regardless of what anyone else has to say because it ain't their money"duh! ....and for your statement, "you get what you pay for!!!", it's not always true...look at HRE's, their banned from certain race leagues for multiple failures..

 

Well, you cannot, for any amount of money, create wheels that will not bend. The thing is, crap wheels do break. As in, chunks break off and I've seen two-piece wheesls become more two piece than they're meant to be. There are pics on this forum of a wheel where the face has become separated from the rim.

I've seen volks bend, but I have not seem them actually break. i've seen bbs bend and crack very slightly but they guy did straight line a rather nasty chicane full trottle repeatedly.

Besides, cheaper rims are usually quite heavy. It is entirely possible that you will end up with a heavier wheel/tyre combination than what you had to start with.

Having said that, I do think at least BBS is somewhat over-priced. Volks (and other Rays brands) are also very expensive. Seems to me Works and SSR's are more reasonable, but I really don't know how good they are but SSR's are among the lightest you can get.

The thing is, there are more fake wheels out there than we're comfortable with. The factories churning out these fakes appear to be selling their own brands and there are companies out there that source their wheels from these fakers.

I'm not saying that Rota or these guys make bad wheels or get their wheels from sub-standard suppliers, but for on-road use, I'd stick with the names that are proven.

 

well the reason he posted in the first place is for our opinion not our approval, and we are giving him our opinions about buying cheap rims, if you want some tenzos then get some tenzos but dont be afraid of some feed back when you ask this type of question
