Tenzo type M (2) Bronze- thoughts?



Looking at these for my copper red 8. Just don't have the guts to go with Gold, nor the $$ for rays,....

18x8 +45 all four corners.

Also has anyone ever dealt with Elementwheels.com? thanks

I love those wheels. They are pretty light too.

Apparantly the Type-M are in the same class as the DC-5 and DC-6 wheels so they should be between 18-25 lbs. dependingon on the wheel size.

Weird that most of the tire sites don't have weight. Pretty idiotic for wheels advertised as 'racing' wheels.

But the gray ones are very nice. Hmmm...

RK you are an angel sent from heaven! Thank you for that link. Actually those pics are better than the ones that I got from the site, and I was able to get good reviews about element. Thank you.

I had no idea that these were so popular! LOL I just ran across them surfing....

I purchased a set of the 19x8.5 Type M V2 Black w/machined spokes from Elementwheels.com. They shipped fast and I received them in about 5 days from the day I ordered them. I havent seen them yet because im deployed in the Middle East but my roommate said they were not damaged & they DID NOT come with lug nuts or hub centric rings. Their customer service was pretty good too. I emailed them a few times with questions and they responded within 2 days. Over all I am pleased with their service. I ordered Rays Extended Lugs so no lug nuts were not an issue. I was a little unhappy about not getting hub centric rings, but I ordered a set from a different site for about $35. Hopefully they are the right size.

I will be back in about a month and will post some pics.

Tenzo are nice looking, but if you research here you'll find they are of low quality material. I too looked at the very same wheels.

I ordered Tenzp R DC-6. They are going on this tuesday. My big question is this. Will the Brembo Gran Turismo Brake kit fit in those rims? I'm most likely going to have to wait for them to be installed then do the measurements but I just want to order my brakes now.

what volks are you looking at? Just spent $2700 for mine and that included lugs and center caps and shipping.

As for the tenzo... it looks a bit blurry... not a fan of blurry wheels color looks nice and nice design though
