TENZO vs KOYA ... sexy WHEELS!
Hi,

Own a Titanium Gray "04, thinking of new wheels. I'm definitely not getting black rims. It will be metallic silver. What do you think of the below on a Titanium Gray?

SO HARD! I wish I had both rims and depending what mood I was in I could SWAP!!!

Anyone have these fitted??? PIC of them fitted would be awesome


TENZO Type M V2


OR

Koya Drift Tek

Who cares if they are koyo's or rota's or volk's. They look good, dozer has some sweet rota's that look like that, I like the design.

Yea I know the Koyo's look like ROTA's, so freaking hard to get ROTA's here in Sydney and from the sound of things I can only get the ROTA's in 18x9, I don't want to roll my guards.

I don't know if I should go for that 5 spoke Concave look or the multispokes like the Tenzo's.

What offset are the Koya's, my rota's are 18x9.5 and I don't need any rolling. That also depends on how low you have the suspension set up.

My buddy has those Tenzos on his TL and two of them have bent under normal driving conditions... take from that what you will but I'll never be one of their customers.
