I am looking at the Tenzo GF7 wheels. I like the design and all, but I have read several posts where some people have bashed Tenzo in the past, but maybe their quality has improved. If you have a "lesson learned", or a good experience, please share it before I spend a couple thousand for wheels and tires. Oh, I don't do any track days or anything like that, just normal street use in SoCal.

Well, like most affordable cast wheels they will bend easily on impact. My cousin had a set of the Passion 5's, both front and rear wheel bent the size of a quarter while hitting a pothole at roughly 45mph.

The upside is the wheels did not crack or shatter putting the car in a dangerous situation.

So to sum it up: It seems like an OK wheel for light street-use avoiding potholes. BUT I wouldn't trust them on tracks or on rough roads.

Don't case wheels usually crack? I thought forged bent and cast crack.

Depends on how they were casted or the quality of material.

Some cast wheels bend, some crack, hell some do both.

Even forged wheels can crack depending on impact.
