So I really wanted Tenzo's but they're way expensive so I found some rims that look just like them..Kyowa KR-628



I want to know if this is a good quality rim. And what do you guys think of it?

I'm going to get 19's. Not sure what kind of tires yet (the guy is trying to sell me Nexens..). My coupe is white w/tinted windows, headlights and tails.

Not a fan of the red lip.. especially on a white coupe... i also think the X style "spokes" are a little over done... if you like it tho thats all thats matters..

ive never heard of the company before so i dont have an opinion on quality

and Nexens are cheap tires, id go with something a little better.. i have Falken Zeix 912's on an 18" rim... its a pretty good ride

Personally, I think this wheel would look really good against white. I have the same set up as JDRs, 18 with Falken Ziex 912's. The ride is good and so far I've been getting really good tread wear. I've also had Nexens a long time ago and again I would have to agree, they ARE cheap tires.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

I knew this guy was trying to rip me off on the tires. He gave me a few other options..I don't remember all of them, but one was Pirelli tires. For some reason this guy isn't very fond of imported tires.

I probably will wait for that discount again on the tires. When you get them through DTD can you purchase the warranty (replace flats for free) that they offer in the regular stores?
