New Wheels! (Ultra Rare Cosmic blue edition)

[Derek88]

Wheels: Tenzo-R DC5 Version 1 18x8 5x114.3 +45ET Gunmetal 73.1 CB
Tires: Stock Potenza 215/45/18
Suspension: Cobb springs
Extras: 1/2" longer lug nuts. TRZ motor mount...

Since this was installed about an hour or less before the pictures, I bet that the springs have some more settling to do, but even if not, I'm satisfied!

And forgive me for not having a great camera. And for taking pictures in the snow... but I'm really excited about these and I wanted people to see them!
The pictures do not do it justice. It looks a lot better in person!

No rubbing either.

Comments are welcome- whether nice or mean. (attn)

Look real sweet and cold!

 

[palerider]

They look nice and and very similar to my MS rays when theyre covered in brake dust. Just kidding.... I like em. I can tell your stoked

And the drop looks great too.

Edit... what do those rims weigh?

Ive never been a real big fan of the cosmic blue.. but this car looks sexy. Color scheme is awesome. How are those stock potenta's treating ya in the snow. I HATE!!! mine lol.

 

[Derek88]

I appreciate the comments so far!

This is going to be the first measurable snow we've gotten so far. I got home just as it started! Time to switch into the old beater with 4wd

How could there be any rubbing when you have that big wheel gap?

come on now.. lets be nice lol... the springs just havent settled yet. The cobbs lower it about an inch I believe.

What size tires?

I know, I know. But everyone seems to be afraid of any offset lower than 48mm. I originally ordered a 37mm offset but canceled the order for fear of rubbing. Since I have 45mm, that is why I mentioned no rubbing.

Altspace,
Stock tires are 215/45/18

Randy, I don't know exact weights, but I'd say about 20 lbs. Lighter than stock but not too much.

 

[absolutamente]

Those look absolutely mint. These are the rims I was looking to buy, and was scared off by the offset. I have been looking into milling the wheel hubs down to increase the offset. how much clearance do you have betweeen the calipers and spokes? It looks like you might run into clearance problems in the back if you were to go with wider tires and hit a bump. Also, I am running stock tires and there is snow everywhere. They are completely useless.

This might be a stupid question, but on Tenzo's website, all the wheels without a polished lip are shown with lettering around the lip... I noticed yours don't, so is the lettering just a decal or what?

 

[Derek88]

Yea, the wheels stick out some, so if I went with 235's I bet I would rub, but not all the time...

And the wheels with the polished lip are Version 2. Driver311 and I have version 1's. The lettering is "Competition Drift Series" or something and they are decals. I didnt really want that on mine... lol

 

[dmention7]

The lettering is "Competition Drift Series" or something and they are decals.

That's exactly what I was wondering about, thanks!

maybe he cares about having a nice setup and not just trying to look cool

 

[gooniac33]

[Oldcabin]

You mention that the color is gunmetal.....but I only see Charcoal Grey on Tenzo's website......same thing?

Thanks.

This picture is so well-done (IMO) it could qualify for a brochure picture. Very nice.
