I was looking at the Damani Tech 5 and the Tenzo Passion 5 wheels. Any experience with either? I'm a college kid so the funds will never be there for anything nicer. I dont know about the 18x7.5 size though. Anybody got any pics with that size set up? I also heard you can get the Tenzo's in 19's? Anyone else know any cheap black rims in this style(5 star with chrome rivets, think HRE 545)

speedy lite 5. wheelsnext has them, no rivets

Yeah I think I'm kinda set on the rivets, really make it look aggressive. Thanks though! I forgot to mention I'm also kinda considering the ADR M-Sport in black. I might consider it more if I could find a freakin pic of them mounted on a car in black.

Actually guys, it looks like I can afford something in the 300 dollar range. I should be able to get a nice wheel for that price right? Help me find one. I love the look of the HRE 545's(in black). I also like the look of the Damani's(Someone help me post a pic, they are at wheelsnext.com) They look like a black SSR GT3. But are the real SSR GT3's even available in black? If so how much? I'm looking got a five spoke(split or no split) BLACK wheel with a polished lip and rivets. I tried Axiz but the only one they have like that is the Crux which doesn't look good to me.

Edit: I beleive the SSR Professors SP1 fit the bill too, but I doubt I can get those in black for less than 500.

I was in the same predicament and ended up getting Axis Milano's in silver and then getting them redone in black for 129 a wheel...I was really close to buying the Stern St-1 in black, but ended up going with the Milanos since they look so much like the stock wheels..See the thread below for more info....Total damage was around 1500 for wheels only, but I really like how it turned out..Now I just have to mount them.

I actually heard you can order the milano's custom in black. I know they are on ebay...looks awesome though bro

Anyway, it looks like the ideal wheel might have been found...

I called my local discount tire and got quoted 252 a piece for these suckers in 19x8.5. Solution reached? Wrap em in a set of Falken ST615's and I'm set I think.

I dont know how inexpensive you were looking for... but these are excellent wheels and are not that expensive.

The Koblenz a great looking wheel. I searched for them for a while and couldn't find any in stock. As for the Milano's I didn't really think it through just kinda splurged on an impulse and not worrying about the damage. So are you not planning to go staggered?

mlane302

Ideally I would go staggered, if for nothing else for looks. Any track time wont be spent on these 19" wheels anyway, even though they are very light for 19" wheels. But on a budget like mine I can't affored to be ideal, so I guess this will be fine. They will look awesome on my BB RX8 either way.

Now I just gotta find someone to buy my OEM wheels for about 100 a piece and I'll be ready to buy these.
