    That could be arranged. I had just gotten some new tires which I was surprised she was okay with, but for safety sake they were pretty worn. Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 all around. She went to go check out the tires and the first thing she said was "you need wheels". I did go from 205 45 17 to 215 45 17 which I'm very happy with and the tires could go on whichever wheel I get.

    I do like the Tenzo R the best, but they are higher priced than the other two by $59 - $76 more each. Its probably between the Tenzo R and the Kazera which is actually the lowest priced. If the Kazera had black where it has anthracite, I'd just have to get those. I don't really care for the wording around the center of the Tenzo R. Otherwise, it is S-H-A-R-P!

    Tough choices

    For what it's worth I like the Tenzo's

    From my wheel buying experience I'd go with the more expensive, You do get what you pay for in wearability.

    as an aside I mentioned to my wife that I was considering a replacement set of wheels to the aftermarket set I already have (I'm trying to add 'Wheelwhore' to my Avatar on top of 'OCD')......the look i got was interesting....

    Updated wheel specs above. Tenzo R is my favorite of the three. Its going to be a tough sell. "Only $40 more per wheel."

    I like them all.

    This may be a stupid consideration, but which one is easier for DIY curb-rash repair. No matter how careful I am, I've somehow manage to incur some small amount of curb-rash. I know, I know, you're all going to say it must be my driving; but I swear its not :rolleyes:

    Funny you should say that. We're probably getting a fridge this weekend and the wheels next. :frown5:

    I just broke the news of the price. She took it pretty well, actually.

    Good one! I'm surprised no one said it earlier.

    Not sure about that one. I plan on being really careful, but I know what you mean. I'm going to be sick if/when it happens. I still remember when it happened for the first time in my tC. It was the worst sound ever. I can still feel it going up my spine.

    I like them too. Just not as much as the other two. Yours look nice with your color scheme, though. Good choice. :Thumbsup:

    Course, now he knows someone else has those wheels. That would be like your girlfriend buying the same dress for prom. :D
