Smile New wheels and coilovers

the old rims i had cracked, they had about 3-4 cracks on each rims. so i decided to call tenzo and check with them and they ended up giving me a new set of rims and i picked the tenzo concept 9 in mate black. also installed my function & form coilovers on the weekend.

old set up


new set up

I think both setups are really nice, but I prefer the black wheels against black...really clean look. What size wheels and tires you rolling on? The Tenzo Type-M V1 are a little too deep for my pocket, so I picked up some MSR 045.

Nicely done, brother...loving the black on black look. I'm a bit biased though
The drop and proper wheels really set that off...

yeh i know what you mean bro! i got the msr 045 to awesome rims! i wouldnt spend over 2g's on rims and tires when i can get the msr for alot cheaper! if u hit a curb or something with 2000 dollar rims it will still get damaged as the cheaper ones anyways the 045 looks great

SB, very nice-I actually like both sets, but the blue lugs really set off your new wheels.

i thought the same, but i bought the lugs on ebay, they are pretty cheap the blue paint is coming of them. i need to get some pretty good lug nuts.

^^^ Yea, I was going to try and paint mine too (I wanted red lugs). But the powder coating and the anodizing isn't foolproof. So they are very subject to chipping. If I didn't insist on staying with the Type S wheels, I could get some non-ball seating lugs and have done with it.

Sometimes, I'm my own worst enemy....

I was lucky one didn't snap while I was driving, there was one rim that was leaking air and that was when I noticed the rims cracked
