How would you rate these wheels and how good are they.....?

ROTAS

TENZO

R1 & KONIGS....

 

What are you looking for cheapest? lighest? I personally would not buy Tenzos. Rotas have been around and are affordable with a variety of styles and lightweight wheels.. Never seen the R1s

 

Konigs are decent also. I have black Heliums.. They have some nice wheels in their lineup..

 

some nice ligthwieght affordable but also reliable.

affirmative.

 

Nice finish, lightweight, and afordable would be awesome but you can usually only get 2 of those in a set.
Ex.
volks- lightweight and great finish (not affordable)
Rota - affordable, decent finish (not very light in comparison to others)
a beat set of volk, advan, rays, ect - lightweight, affordable (not a very appealing finish)

Although..... RPF-1s and P-1s kinda fall into all three catagories

Well, the Rota copies generally are only slightly heavier than their original counterparts. Heavier, yes, but not by that much. The product quality is where they differ the most. Rota's (and the other brands listed), are centrifugal cast wheels with less durability and higher margins of product failure. Not to say that those failures are commonplace, but they will be more common than a forged wheel. P-1's do have some weak points in their overall structure, as well, but nothing really to make note of in a Honda. Heavier bodied vehicles might see issues, but the wheels are designed around lighter chassis, so that argument is void.

As far as knock-off's go, though, Tenzo's are almost the worst out there for product quality. They hold extremely low standards for casting procedures, and really don't suit a car that would ever be considered "performance minded".
