Default Tenzo vs Enkei (weight and offset ?)

I'm going to be purchasing wheels in a couple of months,and I have narrowed it down to two I think! My first pick is Tenzo DC-6 V2 18x8 and my second choice is Enkei PKR's in 18x7.5. I searched alot but could not find the weight on the Tenzo's, but I did find that the Enkei's are 29lbs which are a little heavy IMO. If anybody knows the weight of the Tenzo's it would be greatly appreciated! If not I'm guessing I'll just call Tenzo and see if they will tell me! If I go with the Tenzo's I'll have to decide what offset would work better the 35 or the 45! I don't think I would have rubbing problems with the 35's but I think they might stick out to far and look weird. I'm dropped on Eibach's Prokit so I think I'm safe!Thanks for any info and opinons are welcome!

If I'm not mistaken, I was interested in the D6 and they told me the weight was between 25 to 26 lbs.

Go with the 35 offset. They will not stick out, they will be almost flush with the fenders. 45 will be tucked a bit.

Awsome! Thanks for your replys! If the Tenzo's are around 20-21lbs then thats a big differance compared to the Enkei's, I'm leaning towards the Tenzo's anyways cause people always say go with your first instinct! I figured the 35's would be pretty flush with the fender, but when I have people in the back of the car I really don't wanna take the chance on rubbing! Now I'll just have to wait on my tax return and then place the order with Discount Tire Direct sometime in April!

I have the tenzos
they're 22 lbs for 18s

you should also look into tenzo type m, which is due out in march and I think are lighter than the dc-6

but there is already a lot of talk about these wheels, so I think a lot of people are going to get the type m's.

Damn! The guys at WheelsNext told me 25lbs for those wheels. I got Enkei RSV's because of that. Now that ____es me off a bit.

Thanks for the info! I saw pictures of your car that you posted in the other threads, and thats when I really feel in love with the Tenzo's and I just knew I had to get them! By the way what offset are your DC-6's? They look just slightly tucked inside the edge of the lip, which is what I'm looking for,I really don't like the flush look to much! I just hope they will look just as good on my silver tC as they do on yours though! I'll see if I can find some pictures of the new type m's just for the heck of it!
