Tom, were you looking for the Tenzo's with the red stripe?

[Z-licious]

BAM!

 

[mndsm]

I was. Then I decided to go all black. MrMatt would probably find use for this though, and at least they don't say Drift Series all on them.

 

[dmention7]

barf.

 

[mazdamn02]

g-ross.

 

[TsunamiTam]

i LIKE THEM

reminds me of my car!

 

[Young Roids]

Anybody know where Tenzos are manufactured? Are they cheap chineese wheels or quality Japaneese wheels? Seems like alot of guys are getting tenzos but are they good quality? There is more to wheels than just good looks.

 

[dmention7]

Where they are manufactured is pretty much irrelevant... there are going to be cheap wheels coming out of any country. As we all learned in Ricer 101, JDM does not necessarily equal Quality.

 

[TsunamiTam]

well real jdm shyt is good stuff just a lot of knock offs

i mean volk, ray, advan..etc

and then EURO.. BBS

all them make SUPERB wheels

and then brands like rota make knock offs of them

 

[TsunamiTam]

p.s Tenzo R is AMERICANA

 

[dmention7]

Rotas are knock-offs but they are solid wheels. You get 90% of the quality and 90% of the looks at about 50% of the price.

 

[mndsm]

Yeah, I'll take a slight hit on quality and looks to be able to bend a few sets and still come out cheaper than OZ's. Now eBay Kongs, and shit like that? No thanks. But Rotas have seemed to have gotten several solid followings, so why the hell not.

 

[Young Roids]

Usally the Japaneese manufactures like enkei and rays brands design wheels specifically for racing with real technology in them. Where cheaper brands just make wheels that look hot with no real racing tech in them.

 

[dmention7]

They can cram all the "racing technology" they want in there, but if they are relatively lightweight and strong enough for normal street duty, then anything else is just branding markup.

 

[Coldspeed]

Rotas are knock-offs but they are solid wheels. You get 90% of the quality and 90% of the looks at about 50% of the price.

+1

I'm very happy with my Rota Tarmac3's.

 

[mndsm]

Those are DAMN sexy. That the Hyper Black?

 

[Coldspeed]

Those are DAMN sexy. That the Hyper Black?

Yup

 

[Z-licious]

Ooh, me likey!

 

[dmention7]

Nice. I think you just made my mind up on the color of the torques I'll be ordering

 

[TsunamiTam]

who makes the torques?

you might wanna be careful when ordering "hyper black"

every hyper black wheels i seen are different colors

each manufacturer has their own idea of what hyperblack really is

i have some hyper blacks

and so does E and they are completely different colored

 

[dmention7]

Torques are by Rota... same as coldspeed's wheels, so it should be a safe bet they are going to look similar.
