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!

while i agree in principle with what you say, i am in disagreement with general bashing of a guy who buys rims because they are not 2000+$ worth

If your gonna come here and ask a question as to what we think of TSW's and Tenzo wheels, the be prepared for an all out assault! Subconsciously, he feels that there is, are else he wouldnt have posed this question. Those rims do not go through the same procedures when being assembled as do Work, Volk, HRE, Enkei etc.....

he probably should have specifically said in his 1st post : "I am looking for budget rims, for how they look what do you think of tenzo or what other brand do you recomdn to those on a budget"

IMHO Tenzos belong on Civics and Integras. On the other hand, Volks ain't all that either. They ARE strong(or strongest), but I bet other wheels such as Enkei(MAT technology) and Advans(Semi-Forging technology) have no problem standing up to the same abuse that Volks do.

i had Tenzo Rs5's on my eclipse a while back. I went sideways into a curb going about 30mph and they broke on one side of my car. Still have the other too sitting in my room for decoration. I vote good quality on tenzo, my suspension broke more than the wheels

First of all I did had an '06 Civic Si that I traded in for my Z. And, I too, take pride in what I install in my car unlike some idiots out there. Like I said I don't have a problem with Volk rims, I think they are nice, and if I could get some for free or an insane deal than maybe i would take em... what I'm saying is people shouldnt try to make others feel bad and try to brag about having wheels that are 2 or 3 times as expensive.
And about the exotics... i didnt mean by what wheels they have... i just meant the cars in general. As in some people are talking up their 350z's and Volk rims and blah blah blah when there is always gonna be someone with a nicer car than them. If you like your $3,000 rims, fine go drive around and smile.
Yeah you have your opinion that Tenzo rims arent as good as Volk, which is true as far as quality and materials and ballin' status, but maybe not looks and value to some. dont say they are crap and a waste of money and gonna crack and a stupid choice because those things are subjective.
Oh and I do only get Premium gas from Chevron stations... but a difference of 10 cents a gallon and $1,500 more for a wheel is another story. I'm not trying to argue opinions, I'm just trying to defend some people from getting put down.

If you can drop $4k+ on rims, good for you. Just b/c everyone can't doesn't mean they're ricers. Any wheel can be damaged, depending on how you drive. Don't stretch your tires on a cast wheel and be careful. You should be fine. You will most likely need spacers with a cheaper wheel, as the offsets usually aren't as extreme as expensive wheels. With the Z, you'll need longer studs with spacers to be safe.
And to the above, who cares what Ferraris, Porsches, etc. have? If you can afford a six figure price tag on a car, $4k for wheels and tires is chump change.

Not being able to speak is not the same as not speaking.
You seem as if you like to talk. I let people talk who like to talk.
It makes easier to find out how full of s___ they are.

Your right.
Not being able to walk on water is not the same as walking on water to be able. You seem as if you like to talk. I let people who like to talk, walk on water as they talk. It makes it easier to shiet on water!
