I like the DC5. Any idea how much it weighs in the 8.5", for example?

I read the DC5 and DC6 weigh the same for a given size and that the 19x8.5 are around 21-22 lbs.

If these offsets for the DC-5 sound good to you guys (I really am lost when it comes to wheel offsets and what looks good) I think I will jump on the DC-5 version 2 in charcoal gray for my silverstone Z.
those are pretty good set up there. you may want some 5mm spacers for the front though.

I'm another person that hates the Tenzos, but the DC-5 looks better of the two.

DC5.

On the DC6 you can pull it off with 18x9.5+15 all around with some 265/35-18 some camber and rolling your fenders in the front.

Are you running the Front 19x8 +25 & Rear 19x10 +30 In gloss graphite?

Looks NICE!

The more and more I look I also like the GT6 in Hyper Black. I think this would look great on a silverstone.

It comes in:
19x8.5 +20mm
19x10.5 +25mm



Man, picking wheels is a tough decision, huh? Anyone else get this confused when picking their wheels?

I wish I knew how to photoshop all 3 of these onto a silverstone to get an idea......

Default I've decided!!!

OK, I'm going to order this week. I've decided on the Tenzo DC-5. I am not a wheel guy, so I just want to make sure that the setup will work with the Z and ask what the OPTIMAL tire sizes should be. Are these offsets ok?

I am going with:
Front -
Tenzo DC-5 v.2 19x8.5 +20 offset Charcoal Grey

Rear -
Tenzo DC-5 v.2 19x10 +20 offset Charcoal Grey

I am currently on stock suspension, and am only willing to drop a little. I might get Hotchkis springs (about .5 in drop). I would prefer to not have to roll or cut my feners. Would 245/35/19 and 265/30/19 be the best route here?

You don't want a 265/30/19 rear, that would be smaller diameter than the front. 275/35 is the standard size, could also do a 285/30 if you want a lower profile tire.

No problem, thanks to MR X for providing the visual. It's nice to see affordable wheels out there with nice widths and offsets. Axis used to be about the only company and now there is Ruff, Tenzo, Rota, etc.
