Tenzo DC-5 V1

[meha11]

Just about to buy these for my cb but would appreciate a little feed back first.

Anyone running with 18x8 +45 with 235 40 18's, if so any rubbing issues on stock suspension?

I'm making this hard for myself, i keep changing my mind from gold/black OZ leggs, to the tenzo to cheap Enkei RSV in gold or anthracite- too much choice when weighing up pros and cons of cost/weight/style(bang)

that first one is SEX in bronze! Lovin it. But you need some serious coin to afford those AND those 235 tires. I am at a loss for offsets so I am still up in the air about buyign rims myself as I dont know what offsets are better for sitting more flush with the fender (40, 42, 47....???)

 

[meha11]

yeah, the coin is what puts me off the oz leggs but they are quality, but common, but fit good......argh my head...

thinking the tenzo's are good compromise but just not sure on rubbing.

You kids are ******* killing me over here. I got some poo-poos when i first posted picture. but I love the wheels. I have the 18x8s with a 225/40/18 Nitto 555. I also have Cobb springs and lotsa other crap. happy to say no rubs, even with my big friends along for the ride. You can probably run 235/40 but really no need xcept looks. Oh yes, 45 offset and 21lbs. Recommended offset by Element. I love them and they continue to look good after a full season of use and abuse. A bargain and old school all together. I am the only person in the vast United americas who runs these on Cosmic Blue that I am aware of.

[ericrapp]

[ericrapp]

[meha11]

looking at this pics Im thinking about getting springs..... even that I said I wont lower my car....

 

[Renzokuken]

My fronts dont rub and its 2.5 inches, but the rear is 2 inches and it WOULD rub if it werent for the fact that my rear fenders are rolled.

 

[truredspeed3]

The bronze tenzos are sex!!!!

 

[meha11]

just placed the order in bronze w/230/40/18 exclaim uhp's, got a good deal -wheels were the last ones in stock.(yippy)

 

[ericrapp]

I hope you are pleased with them, and glad you got a deal. sounds like a good combo and you should pick up some traction with those tires! Which lugnuts will you use 11? Maybe you can post up some pics. It sure does a fella good to hear some of the nice comments.

 

[meha11]

I hope you are pleased with them.......................... Which lugnuts will you use 11?

Thanks man. Dont know what 11 means with regards to lug nuts, the guy said he would throw some in, i am a little ignorant on this subject.

 

[ericrapp]

I am sorry by 11 I meant meha11(_*_). I got gorilla nuts with mine and they are alright being black. But i would like at some point, to get some some Work wheels lugnuts. maybe their blue ones. Seriously. Sorry i communicate so piss poor. I have been thinking about the lugnut colors for a long ass time and still have not decided. I am not a good with the ' car looks hot'. stuff. i just know what i like and am performance oriented anyways. But i think the rule of thumb is if YOU have black nuts on the bronze, I should have blue or red or purple even! We can be brothers but not twins. ha! just funnin a bit buddy
