New Tenzo DC-5 and DC-6

http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/main.html

Thats the link to the website, they have no infomration on these rims just what you see on the first page so far. I called and asked a local shop about fitment, they make them in a 17x7 with a 32mm offset. How would that look on the car? Would the wheels stick out more compared to stock? or be more in the fender compared to stock? I think it would be more in right? Stock off set is 45. Has anyone heard anything about these wheels, they look amazing at a very good price. they run $230 a wheel canadian. Im not sure on weight or anything but im guessing somewhere in the 19l-21lbs range which is about stock.

Im running tein ss on my si and i've read in posts that everything should be find with that offset, but im just wondering on how it would look on the car. Any opionions would be greatly appriciated. thanks.

those wheels would stick out further

lower offset = further away from the hub
higher offset = closer to the hub

Yup what he said.

The DC-5 wheels look exactly like the new Volk RE30's... I think they would look amazing on a 8th gen.

so are you able to run them on the si? Or would they rub on the fender?

* It wouldn't stick out of your fender (You need another inch or more for it to be a bit flush). It wouldn't even be near your fender unless you're running on positive camber.

i just found out the offset is 42 not 32, the guy made a mistake when he was looking at them. Havent bought them yet, want to find out the exact weight, would suck if they were 28lbs or something.

I just noticed these wheels (thanks to a buddy) and they do look nice. I'm strongly considering getting these on my RR SI... Just debating on the color and size... Here's a few pics...

Or bronze instead of black...

Do they weigh more than a ton or less than a ton?
