type m's llook the best and i think will go good with your car....have no photoshopping skills sorry bro

RonJonTL757

I would say DC5 to expose the Brembo more.
I like your murdered out theme but may I suggest remove the pin stripe and black or red lugs

Other than that looks great I want to do the same with my stocks. Did you get them powder coated or is that a DIY??

horsepowercrzy18

thats actually an old picture. i now have black lugs and no pinstripe. did the wheels myself

RonJonTL757

My b looks great. What materials did you use?

What are the specs on those wheels? I like all of them but I dont think any of them fit on a TL

horsepowercrzy18

i sanded down the wheels then primered them then used 4 coats of gloss black paint then 3 coats of clear coat. the Tenzos specs are 18X8 45 offset

iTrader: (4)

yea thats the same specs I was looking at got the 2nd wheels you posted up and the shop I was gonna get them from said they don't fit on out cars without spacers. I forgot how big of a spacer is needed tho.

i was actually looking at the dc5 but I only found them at 7.5
That could be because i was looking for 17's though....

I am in the same dilema, i want one of those 3 wheels in the charcoal color in a 19in.

horsepowercrzy18

all 3 of these wheels will fit. they have either 45 offset or 37 offset. the 17's only come in 17x7.5'' and the 18's only come in 18x8''. there are 19's also that are 19x8.5 or 19x10

Here you go




Hope this helps sorry for the quality they're just quick chops

horsepowercrzy18

nice photoshops ^ narrowed down to 2 rims now. the type m and project 7. the project 7 rim kinda looks like a black version of ethans (transmission) rims. very hard choice. could you make the type m and project 7 rims bigger?

myron

iTrader: (4)

so 19x8.5 37offset will fit the tl? is this with factory brembo or without?

horsepowercrzy18

yes they will fit with brembo

coyTL

can you try the type M in a machine face finish?

xrvman

What do go mean Machined face

this sounds familiar

I don't know, but it has always seemed to me that Tenzo rims don't really "pop" out on TL's. Looks bland? Is it just me? Or does anyone else also know what I'm talking about?

...or maybe no one has had them aggressively slammed on before?

clemdaddy

what about the 18s and the brembos!?

I'm really interested in the DC5 18s. If both offsets clear brembo, Is the +37 the better choice? So as to have no rubbing on the outer fender? I also plan to lower the car about 1.5"

dudechewy

the second ones look the best

horsepowercrzy18

the 18s should fit with the 37 offset

You should look into the 19" tenzo type M with a red pinstripe.

coyTL

check these out...very sexy!

clemdaddy

have you bought the rims yet?!

clemdaddy

FYI

I asked a similar question in this forum, and was told that a 5mm spacer would be needed.

I have the Type-M's in 19x8.5 ....

They only fit if you run a 1/4" Spacers (If you Have Brembo's)

Here's a couple Pics:

horsepowercrzy18

do you have spacers on the front and rear? cuz the front sticks out more than the rear

ACU-RATE

iTrader: (2)

I have a 3/4" Spacer in the FRONT & None in the REAR.

I only need to run a 1/4" spacer in the front, BUT since I've installed Extended wheel studs in the front...I run 3/4" spacers for the simple fact that i DIDN'T want open-end lug nuts, cuz they show the gold ext. wheel studs....I want to keep the BLACK lug nuts that came with the wheels...

thats the only reason in run 3/4" spacers....

Yea i kno it gives the Ride a wider stance from the front...I kinda like it that way...its FWD.

I've also thought about doing spacers for the REAR...but i'll need to upgrade to the EXT. wheel studs....

That brings up another thing...
If you run a spacer thats 1/4" or above...
I would recommend getting extended wheel studs...
CUZ with the 1/4" spacer, the lug nuts will ONLY tighten so much...its not enough thread left due to the spacer

clemdaddy

Very nice pics! I think you just sold me on those rims. I had my eye on the DC-5 (18")... but I think the ones you have are better. I'll be getting 18" though

How hard/cost is it to install extended wheel studs? Did you do it yourself?

Do you recommended any particular store/online to buy the spacers (i assume these are hubcentric spacers?)

thanks!

U should go with 19's....IMO

I did the wheel studs myself...Its not too bad of an install, the hardest part is putting in the extended ones w/o damaging the threads cuz they are almost twice as long as the oem studs.

I got EXT. studs from velocityshop.com based in FL.

I recom. u get the open-end wheel studs also.

I got the spacers from a local shop....Its not hub centric either, just some cheap brand...but it gets the job done.

do you guys get vibrations going over 80 mph? I just put on the Tenzo Type-M Version 2 and am getting crazy vibrations. About to get wheel balanced a third time....

I have hubcentric rings on there too...

lols.... sorry. it was tempting me too much. however from one of the previous guys chops, the project 7's look the best imo.
