New Tenzo DC5 Any Good?

Apparently these are a new wheel from tenzo.

Are these any good?? They come in 18x8. Not the most ideal size of all time but they can be had for a pretty good price and look good in dark grey.

Anyone with any experience on looks, wheel durability (bends , scratches , etc.) with these or Tenzos in general feel free to chime in!

Look like Work Emotions but run quite a bit cheaper

Not bad looking wheels, wheelweights.net lists them at 21.7lb for the 18x8 and 23.5lb for the 19x8.5. Those aren't bad weights for a low budget wheel.

i superficially checked them out on the web. very bad rep. everyone only has negative things to say about them.... they're one piece aluminium wheels but prone to cracking, bending, etc. i'm actually having hard time finding one happy tenzo owner even on honda forums.

sorry for the news, if the wheels were as good as they look, i would've also got a set from them eventually.

Yea I have some Rev Wheels on the rx8 right now (sitting around from my mazdaspeed protege) only because I bougth the rx8 used for a STEAL due to 30+ lb. chrome wheels that the original owner had installed...

I have several bends on the outer edge from less than spectacular potholes... Im really looking to replace these with a quality wheel when the time is right. I will likely give in and fork out the dough for Work Emotion 18x8.5s just for the peace of mind.
