Alright so I have a set of Aspec rims that need to be refinished. Haven't decided if I want to sell them and start fresh... or keep them. If I keep them, I want to black-chrome them. I think it'll compliment my NBP much better than the gun metal color. Since the rims have no actual defects (bends, curbage etc), this should work nicely.

Black chrome would look something like this (finish-wise)


I have some other rims in mind, if I do choose to buy new. Heres my list

RonJon Legend GTs


5Zigen SC3000


Drag DR-31


Azul Speedmesh


Enkei LF-10


Enkei FD-05



Konig Zero


Tenzo R Type M


Five Axis Five:AD (not sure if these are out yet)


Any and all input is welcome!

I like:
-5Zigen SC3000
-Konig Zero
-Tenzo R Type M

The last ones are kinda funky but if you do it right you could pull them off like a straightup69playapimp.

Yeah, I like the Tenzo #1, then the 5Zigen #2.

MinDawg

notice you like that red crap. I like Enkei FD-05 1 and 2. check out weight for all of them as well. I put new wheels on my ride and it seems to be slower now. then again I'm on 20's LOL

Wseminuk

Enkei LF-10 w/out the center cap. It would look so hard on ur black car!

dont go with the time attack theme. its more for sport car's

x3... the tenzo's look sick... and the engines have always been nice

itschnobigdeal

I like the azul's, the sc3000's, and the tenzo's... You should get whatever is cheapest though, so you can give me a better deal on the A specs.... lol!

TL2498

Enkei LF-10s all the way, they make all those other wheels look second rate.

I say buy mine.

ASpecs, didn't even think about it.

^ ballin, what do you mean?

Alright well it seems like the 5Zigen'ss and the Tenzo's are the popular rims.

This is the other color for the SC3000s


5Zigen SC3000
<27.95lb
18x7.5

Tenzo R Type M
25lb (not confirmed)
18x8

Enkei LF-10 (black)
26.5lb (not confirmed)
18x8
18x9

Konig Zero
Weight ?
18x8

I like the ring/lip because it breaks the black on black... The LF-10s might be too murdered out...

My opinion is keep the ASpecs but if you really want to switch it up, the Tenzo R's are best looking with the concave face. SC3000 are nice, but I don't know about 7.5" widths, I think 8's are as low as I would go. Just my Are you only considering 18's, or 19's as well?

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Only 18s... and yeah, I want 8" or 8.5" widths, ideally.

This is what happened to my ASpecs... go to post 51

Would you keep them? I'm on the fence...

Wow...the Five Axis Five AD's are fresh. I've never seen anything like those before. It would definately be different while still looking good !

Keep the A-specs and refinish them "time attack" style.

jmkiang

iTrader: (5)

^ Is that even possible?? Doesn't look like theres room for the red stripe...


This is the black chrome look I was going for... Its probably gonna cost me a $1G though

the tenzo type m's are the best looking of the bunch imo, look even better in real life. according the tenzo rep at hot import nights, the 19's weigh around 27-28 pounds so even the 18's will not be a really light wheel.

these are soooo sick!!! would any1 kno bout them? regardin clearin of the BBKs?

Distorted Reality

M'eh not feeling any of them. But I guess the Azul, or the Tenzo's look half way decent.

madtraction39

I would ask some questions about the fitment on the Tenzo's. I was looking at these when I originally started wheel hunting. I checked other forums to see picks of them on other cars. The problem I found was that the pictures they show in the add don't match up to how they look on the car. It seems like they are much flatter on a fwd car. The offset would have to be very aggressive to achieve the same look.

Tenzo R type M

don5504

Tenzo R type-m would be my 1st choice and the RonJons Legends would be my 2nd choice. I really like how the spokes go all the way out to the edge of the Tenzo wheels. Sort of reminds me of how the Volk Progressive ME's look like.

I think I'm going to have to agree with you... Tenzos #1, RJs #2.

However, I think my Aspecs are being taken care of by the shop that f'd them up... so

Still thinking about these though.

Topflight1

The last wheel looks like you took it off adam west's bat mobile. Personally I like the Enkei FD-05.

I think they could look sexy as hell, if done right.

fokkerfitch83

I don't see what the draw is to black wheels. Can someone explain? Is it a weight thing? I'm not saying bright chrome is the best either. If I had to choose I would most def go w/ the A-specs and black chrome as its not overtly flashy. If I ever want black rims I'll just forgoe cleaning my wheels for a month.
