Default So what do the wheel gurus think of these?

Has anyone seen the new Tenzo R Type-M? They are supposed to be released this month, and I must say, they are (to me) one of the most appealing mesh wheel I have seen. I really like them since they have a bronze finish.

What do you guys think these in 18x8 45mm offset would look like on an fm?

They look nice and will look really clean on your FM.
If they have them in a +40 offset, get those instead of a +45.

Well, I'm not wheel guru, but... I like the concave look to them. Might want to check what your size/offset will actually look like. Most of the time the photos you see on company website are of large, wide rims with the lowest offset they offer (aka, will look more concave in this case.)

Yes. They offer 19's. They also have a 37mm offset for the 18x8 after looking through the price lists on the Tenzo website.

Heres the link.-->http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/
Catalog links are below the GF7 advertisement. I just wish that they would have included wheel weights.

I don't know if they are going to be quite that high. If you look at all Tenzo wheel prices, they are all the same. So I'm sure that the price will be comparable to that of the DC6 or DC5, but this is just my guess.

I'm working on a price quote, weight, and official sale date from elementwheels. Hopefully they will be out by the time I get my tax refund.

bronze or gunmetal would be alright but silver would probably be the best. really nice rims though.
