Check out the BBS RG-R/Spirit R thread

I like the Tenzo R Psycho rims, myself. Or, If you have oodles of money, the Enkei Phalanx is an awesome wheel

ARD T2 02-26-03 05:20 PM

What's your budget? That's the first place to start. I do have some suggestions.

Peace, Rishie

=(

Enkei RPM2 are gun metal color.

of course you can always powder coat any rim u desire

By these from me....

O-Z Superlegarra 17 x 8 ( 40mm ) w/ 245-40 P Zero's

They have 250 miles on them and have no scratches or dings period....Only lit the tires once :)

1,400.00

New there about 1,800.00 so as you can see I can't give them away and if I can't sell them I'll use them for the street.....I have some CCW's in the works instead

Here is a pic of the Tenzo R Psycho rims....I'm not sure why people are hating on Tenzo, but I like the style:

Okay bro. I got these coming in next week in the sleeper fitment.

17,9 +43 offset all the way around. I reccommend 245/40/17 all around. I will have these in matte black next week.

Check them out.

For $800.00 shipped.

Let me know ASAP. There's only one set.

ARD T2 02-27-03 11:08 PM

They are 17lbs.

Sprockett 02-27-03 11:39 PM

I would like to know what is wrong with the Tenzos :confused:

Cheers! 02-27-03 11:51 PM

a japanese car deserve japanese aftermarket products.

ARD T2 02-28-03 09:26 PM

TENZO sucks ass. They are heavy, made in taiwan, and waaaayyyyyy too thin for an FD. It's just not a good fitment.

Get creative.... take some rims you really like and get some gun-metal shaded engine paint. Orr-Lac has some 'carbon' stuff that looks damn good. Go mask up the tires, do some painting. You'll have your favorite rims in a custom color.

Bluntly put but right on. Also the OZ's are a little thin for FD fitment as well. If you're going to upgrade you might as well get a wider rim than 7.5" or 8". The 5zigen's posted seem to be a great deal and might be up your alley. Rishie, what model wheel is that?

I recommend if anyone is going to do this, remove the wheel from the tire and have it powdercoated. That is if it's a wheel worth keeping.

ardt2 those wheels are really nice.do u still have them

ARD T2 03-02-03 02:42 PM

Yes we do. Please relay to me immediately if you're interested in a particular color. We have the shipment going out tommorrow.

Bronze, Anodized Silver, and Black

Thanks, Rishie

1 - ALT fusion
2 - HP Racing Fusion (dark silver)
3 - Nippon Racing Fino-5
4 - Nippon Racing Wishbone
5 - Velox VX-Nova

Those are my top 5 (not in order), and they all come in 5x114.3 and in varying offsets. Numbers 3,4, and 5 come in gunmetal, and 1 and 2 come in hypersilver or titanium silver.

RX7 RAGE 03-07-03 02:07 PM

tenzos suck and belong on hondas.

Sprockett 03-07-03 02:23 PM

What do you think of Nippon Racing? I really like the stying of the Wishbone:
