Default Rims that look like *this*...(picture within)

I've been trying to find a set of specific looking rims. Thanks to the recently created Tenzo thread, I was reminded to make this thread and ask for help finding what I need.

The Tenzo Type-M rim is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, they don't come in the sizes I want (looking for 18x8/18x8.5, 18x9). Here's what they look like. Can anyone suggest other rims that look like the Tenzos and don't cost the price of a kidney? Looking to spend about $1000 on just the rims. Also, prefer a 10-split spoke design like the one pictured below.

Tenzo makes an 18x8, with 45 offset, you can fit that on all 4 corners.

I saw an M3 slammed on 20" version that looked exact like that, looked so hot. That's what made me want the Tenzo's but, I'm not impressed with the quality of tenzo.

i feel you, i really like the tenzo wheels as well. if you are wanting 18's you should just go with the 18x8's all around. then you could rotate them easily...

Monza Warwick Euro Mesh 18x8.0 +38 and 18x9.0 +38 - the offset are wrong for the Z.

5Zigen ZR+520. You can get 18x8.5 +25 / 18x9.5 +20. Weak as hell, but sounds like that's what you want by going for those skinny widths.

I'd only want 18x8s for the front. I'd prefer 18x9 for the rears.

Edit: Yeah, the offsets on those Monzas are terrible.

Don't like how they look. And they're Rotas...I've heard some terrible things about them.

Triple8Sol: Those look nice, but not quite what I'm looking for.

Nothing wrong with rota, there probably some of the best wheels available in your price range. The biggest complaint is from the Volk posse, cause they are cheap and the Volk posse believes you should spend $3k to $4k on yoru wheels.

Have you looked at all Rota has to offer??

why do you want 18's in that size? Stock 18s are 18x8 and 18x8.5.. stock rays are 19x9 and 19x10.. you sure you don't want something more aggressive?

The Tenzos remind me of these wheels.
