I don't see how they're worse. They offer wider sizes, more aggressive offsets and should work just fine if you aren't jumping curbs.

I think I like the Ruff Racing 279s more and more every time I see them. Anyone have these or know of some good pics of these in 19" on a Z?
Ruff seems to be pretty good quality right?

I just read a thread the other day where some guy noticed his tire was losing air consistently and it turns out there was a crack in his Volk rim, and that was the forged barrel (rim) portion. So apparently you shouldn't buy Volks either. Best option will be to sell your car and walk everywhere. Just make sure you are invincible so that your feet don't get damaged.

get whatever wheels you want if you are just using them for DD. I would love to have volks or HREs but in houston it would just be stupid. With my luck they would be ruined in one week.
the most important things when buying a wheel for me is price, fitment, weight, and quality. I wouldn't put sportmax on my z but i've never heard anything bad about tenzo wheels.
also HRE makes tenzo wheels

I agree with this. How the f*ck are you gonna say that a set of rims from a well known wheel manufacturer is just "gonna crack". These rims are $1300. Theyre not some walmart "hot wheels", or eBay $99 a piece wheels. I think $300 a wheel should get you a pretty decent piece of metal, or ceramic to put a tire around. If u ask me, spending $3,500 on some rediculous Volk wheels is more of a waste of money. Yeah, I like most of the Volk wheels, I'm not knocking them. If you have money to burn then go spend $4,500 on rims and tires, but some of us would be much happier spending $2,000 for something that looks just as good, if not better (by opinion).
But I guess all you high and mighty Steve McQueen wanna-bee Volk owners doing your jumps and donuts and off-roading stunts with your unbreakable $700 wheels will continue to have the same smart *** quips. Thats fine. Because you are still gonna get laughed at by Porshe's and Corvettes and Ferrari's everything else superior to you. There's always someone better than you.

Why would Porsche, Ferrari and or Vette owners laugh at us, considering they wear the same wheels(Kinesis, HRE's, Volks, I Forged, etc...) I never see a Ferrari owner wearing TSW's lol or a Porsche owner sportin Tenzo. Maybe its becuase they produce subpar equipment(seats, intakes and cheap coilovers). Thats the impression I get when I think of Tenzo!
