Tenzo is making wheels now? I guess strut bars weren't enough.

They might be ok looking if they didn't have the ricer writing all over them.

Those top tenzo wheels would look dope on a blue Type-S... make sure you have your red H badges to go with them. I'd rock them.

so Toddoo.... are work wheels ricer since they come with writing too?

get the tenzo DC5, it will match your chassis code. LOL and the white does look good on blue, just not the red lip

those top wheels aren't even labeled correctly

i think white wouldnt look bad at all.... i would prefer white on blue than black on blue... but then again i would go for a silver wheel, or polished wheel... if the first wheel were completely white with no red on it, i think it'd look great

Yes. Look at the stampings on the OEM wheels vs. your typical inexpensive aftermarket wheels. That's one clue.

OEM wheels are factory crash and fatigued tested up to a certain spec. They also have a ton of R&D behind them.

The same absolutely cannot be said for wheels like the Tenzos, Rotas, Konigs, etc. A set of Rotas (or Tenzos) would fail Honda's standards in a heartbeat. I know a few people at the Honda R&D plant and I *know* what OEM wheels go through.

Believe me...there is a huge quality difference.

also to add on, you always see the average aftermarket rims always getting bent. Everybody knows OEM rims will last way longer then aftermarket on a daily basis. PERIOD .

For those who want a differnet look but don't want to spend over 2k for rims, these will do fine. If you like them and you think they will look good, get them.
