How do you guys feel about these rims? Will they definitely fit on the TSX? Please let me know.

they're cast wheels. they make copies of established wheel companies.

you get what you pay for.

i.e. the tenzo shu-4 are copies of schumackers.

just like rota slipstreams are copies of those spoon wheels, whatever they're called.

but get whatever you want man

What do you mean they are cast wheels? Tenzo makes their own authentic wheels, they are a bonafide tuner company, they make other quality aftermarket products. I see someone like Exel being a bootleg wheel company, they make no other aftermarket products and manufacter cheap offshoots, ie the DL-46 a bootleg of the SSR GT3.
Know what i'm saying?

I would read about the strength of Tenzo rims, to see if they bend/break easily. Possibly try clubrsx, honda-tech, etc. etc.

Also "cast" means how the metal is formed. A cast wheel is poured into a mold, a "forged" wheel is pressed by a stamp. The forging process creates a much stronger wheel, which in turn allows them to be lighter, and then more expensive

The forged wheels out there are a lot harder to find and cost more. I hear what you guys are saying, but i think if you are cautious the cast wheels make a lot more sense, economically speaking. I don't plan on having my aftermarket rims on during the winter and won't be driving as crazy as i do now with my stock wheels on. In this sense i think the consequences are less severe.
