I am shopping for wheels. and Looking a set of Tenzo GT5 from wheelsnext.com Can you tell me what do you think? and anyone know anything about these? thanks for your input.

 

Not a fan.

 

I would not reccomend Tenzo's to anyone. They're heavy and the slightest pothole will bend the holy hell out of the wheel.

 

Tenzo is still in business?

 

Go to any reputable tuner shop and they'll tell you that TenzoR tend to crack. Been there.

 

Some of their new line-up look pretty decent.

 

tenzo FTMFL...for real...they are crap

had a set on my last car...i didnt have any problems with any bends or anything...but they were heavy as ****...and turning...turning is a whole 'nother story!!

 

These are pretty good looking DC6

or DC5:


GT5:

 

Looks to me to be cheap sets of Advans, Works and Volks.

Save your money and get wheels that are actually worth a damn. Sure these may LOOK good, but their performance is garbage.

 

just out of curiosity, what constitutes wheel performance?

i understand the whole "lightweight" thing, but other than that.........can you expect a wheel that weighs 4lbs more than another to make handling and acceleration so much worse?

Yes you can feel a difference. Rotating mass reductions are most noticable, secong is unsprung weight , then normal weight.

 

i would be curious to see a test on the 1/4 mile track, skidpad and road course with stock wheels (17s or 18s but not the lightweight ones) versus aftermarket wheels that are bigger with wider tires but heavier but 7lbs heavier or so. not that i am doubting you, but i have a feeling that the performance difference is negligable at best.

Im going to have to say it. if your going to post of this forum about wheel anything not volk or work you will here peoples opinion (most likely negative) but it will be honest and you cant ask for more than that....if you don't like what you hear then don't ask. personally i would NOT buy tenzo's but again that is my opinion and it's your car man do whatever makes you happy with it.

 

What wheels would you guys recommend that are decent quality but are not as pricey as Volk, Work, etc? From the posts above I guess Tenzo R wheels are out of the question.

 

enkei

 

theres plenty of other types of wheels other than volks and works, they are just expensive tho. example #1: AME. /

 

tenzo makes anchors, not wheels

 

:/

Edit - ^ lol I didn't read your post before I posted.

What do you guys think of 5Zigen wheels?


Yeah I like a few of the enkei wheels and price is not to bad.
