Zenetti Five Opinion

what do you guys honestly think about Zenetti wheels? are they good quality? heavy? etc etc.

my friend who works at F1 Motorsports (Hollywood, CA) told me that Zenetti sucks...

I was plannin on getting 19x8 w/ 235/35/19 w/ a tein ss drop... will that work?

let me know... I've done some searches but I'm clueless about tires, rims, offsets etc... thanks in advance man...

It looks OK. On a TL, I would recomend something more sporty.

I think those wheels would look good on Lexus SC or GS or even a LS.

There was someone on here a while back with some some and they look pretty good on the TL with a drop. I heard they are heavy though so not good for speed.

I think you should stay away from chrome on TL's. Ever consider a chrome lip? To me "all chrome" belongs to full size and SUVs.

Plus chrome is usually heavier...hence thats why they belong on "bigger" cars....with time heavier than spec wheels will start fucking up stuff like the cv joint to be particular and your gas milage.

Not bad wheels...although I don't think the five is for our car. That's just my opinion though, whatever you think looks good. IMO, the duece(although it would be better silver instead of chrome) or the mystic would be the way to go if you are gonna get zenetti's. If you do decide to get them though, let me know. I've got a friend that may be able to get you a pretty good deal on them.

thanks for all the help guys ... 2 things though,

1.) I wasn't planning on getting the chrome.. I was planning on gettin the black ones with a silver lip... do you think that still wouldnt look good on a NBP?
2.) whose TL is that? I ain't feeling the kit but do you have any side shots of that car? i always wanted to see a side shot of the 2nd gen with the fives...

I beg to differ. I think the five-spoke type rims look great on our cars. Here is my ride with 19x8 Work Euroline LS:

I have the Zenetti Fives in hyper silver with a 1" comptech drop and love them. People are always coming up to me to say how good my wheels look. I prefer a wheel that looks good and is not too fancy.

I really like that wheel... looks classy and kinda sporty at the same time...

btw, that ABP TL-S has to be the ugliest TL i've ever seen

The rims are 19x8 with a +45 offset. I have close to a 3 inch drop and I have a system in my trunk. Yes, it will rub if people sit in the back seat with a 235/35/19 tire. But if you switch to a 225/35/19 tire then you are fine.

Yes, that is a Value Sport front bumper. I have the rest of the kit but I need to get it fix and painted. Hopefully it should be on by spring/summer this year.

hey harminder and simple,
I've got the deuces in 19's with a tein/koni drop at about a 1-finger gap on the fronts and a 1.5-finger gap on the rears. I also believe they're 8.5's and have had no rubbing issues. The only potential issue is if you have a 6mt with the acura brembos, any zenetti will not fit. I'm pretty sure zenetti only manufactures in only 1 or 2 offset sizes. If you have an auto and go with zenetti's but plan on installing a BBK in the future, BBk's will fit but the company may have to make a small adjustment on the caliper mount in order for zenetti rims to clear without a spacer.

I've had my rims for 2 years now with no problems. If you plan on tracking the car I would opt for a lighter (probably more expensive rim though!) option but for daily use, their perfectly fine and I drive pretty hard and have hit my fair share of pot holes with no bends in the rims.

I have the Zenetti Fives on my car and they look great. They are 19X8 with a +42 offset and im running a 225/35/19 tire. I am on the "original" Comptech drop and get no rubbing what so ever even with 3 adults in the back. Too bad I dont have a picture but anyone in the LA area and is thinking bout getting these rims and wants to check out the car, just let me know!
