I like these better but I think the offset is too high.. I say try to go for a lower offset. Otherwise you're going to find yourself wanting to add spacers in the future.. and you should try to avoid that at all costs.

egonz36

what is the downside about spacers? im not familiar with what spacers do..

ASASN21

Spacers are exactly what they are named, they put more SPACE between the hub and wheel to push the wheels out more and make them look more flush with the fender. If you have an offset of 45, and you get 5mm spacers, then essentially you will have a 40mm offset. Get it?

I really dont understand why people put spacers down so much. They're really not bad at all. As long as you stay within a 5-10mm range, there's really no risk at all using them. When you get up to like 15,20,25mm it starts getting kinda suspect.

Oh yeah, get the gunmetal Tenzos.

okay thank you for explaining the spacers.. its called machine black,, i wanted to see what people thought about them. i didnt know if they would make a good look on the car..

ASASN21

No problem.

Im actually a really big fan of this wheel, I think they look damn good. I thought they were just alright before, but I saw a blacked out GTI with them in person and it definitely changed my mind.

egonz36

any pics of them on a car. ive been looking to see an actual photo of them, them my mind will defenitly be set.

I like the looks of the Type M but the only thing that would hinder me from buying them are limited offset selection and they don't come in 9.5 or x10 widths. But for someone that don't really want such an agressive set up then these would be perfect.

If you are thinking of getting these wheels I would either go for the matte black finish with a red stripe (Time Attacks Look a like) since your TL is black. It would look pretty sick!!! Otherwise, I would go for the bronze color to be different.

egonz36

yea i really dont want an agressive setup i just want a nice looking rim and a small drop. i drive my car alot and i want a nice look

Any one of the 3 finishes will look good on your NBP. With ANY set of aftermarket wheels, GET centercaps, IMHO.

I like em. They're purdy. Not a huge fan of some of the writing on the face, but the style is HOT!

looks pretty cool, i would get an offset similar to that maxima though. then top it off with the coils and slam it

^ yea this is his daily driver... i don't think he wants a stagger nor to have to deal with rubbing of any sort

I spoke to him on aim regarding the wheel... 19x8.5 +45 with 245/35-19 is my suggestion to him so he avoids any chance of rubbing

and for the spacer recommendation... 245 with a 45 is flush enough (for a daily driver)...

egonz36

thank you sir.. i want a nice look but still be able to have a decent ride. i will be dropping it soon but havent decided on what suspension yet..

808origin-al

ok hows about + 40 wrapped with 235 i think you can do without rubbing and still be a little more aggresive

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

no dude a 235 is not as comfortable as a 245...

808origin-al

^ same thing he's already on low profile tires , he probobly won't even feel the differance and yet still look a little more aggresive LOL!!!!

Is the ride quality that different between 245 and 235?

ssmtl2nv

iTrader: (2)

exactly 245= more sidewall=more comfort.

ssmtl2nv

iTrader: (2)

ell yea, wish I would have went with a 245/40

808origin-al

^ like i said not that much of a differance he's already on low pros how much more comfort can you get? hell if comfort is what ur looking for than i suggest you get 17/ 8.5 and run 245/60/17. guaranteed you can even run over a dead body and still wont feel a thing, also if he's gonna run some coilovers the ride wont be as comfortable anyways common now!!!! hahahahaaha this is fun i'm just trying to express the way i feel... no hard feelings fella's ....

KINGS OF KINGS

sorry but not feelin them wheels.

cr00klyn718

Not feeling these wheels.

egonz36

thank you people for the positive and negative feedback please keep it coming!!

love these wheels, but i think staggered fitment is the only way to go with these. just my .02

egonz36

i considered staggered.. but its my daily driver and i dont want to have to worry any more about tires or rims anymore then just purchasing them lol

john_wrap

+1 staggered with those wheels.

if i have to choose between the two i'd pick the first but i think you should keep looking but thats just my opinion obviously. get what you like...afterall it's ur $

do spacers pose and risk to the wheel itself or would it just look different? I have a WDP and am thinking 18's....I would run a 235/40/18 michilin pilot a/s plus. Do you need a hubcentric ring for these as well?

Guys,

Stupid question cuz i don't know crap about cars. Will these fit my 06 tl???http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=7&vid=009435

It says the bolt pattern is 5-100 but the title says 5-100/114 so im guessing it will fit but my friend that works at the autoshop says otherwise. thanks in advance

I am actually a HUGE fan of these wheels! SAME FINISH ALSO! Machine is the shiznets!

anyone have these on our 3gTL? or can do a good ps of a NBP with the machined finished Tenzo's?

I have them on my WDP...I have a few pictures...not great ones but can snap some more when I get home from work. Car is really dirty right now but at least you can see how they look.

Those wheels will fit its a 5-100/114 which means it will fit 100 and 114 vehicles. Our TLs are 5x114.3 so you are good to go!

Not sure if anyone still reads this thread but I just got in Type M Tenzo (black with red lip) 19" with 45 offset. Since I have the type-s, I have a problem with the brembo front brakes. They are touching the new wheels, just barley, if I could push them out just a little bit, I think they could work. Is it worth getting a small spacer or do I risk hurting my car or new wheels?
