What do you think of or know about Tenzo DC-5's?

I am going tomorrow and possibly trading in the Xb for a new '08 Xb. I am looking for a new set of wheels for it too. I don't need comments about how ugly the '08 is, I know, but I like it anyway. I was looking at the DC-5's but I have heard Tenzo wheels suck, and crack, and all kinds of other stuff and I know that they are a knock off of the Works wheels. But I was looking for someone with experience in this, not a "a friende of a friend" type of thing. And I am looking as a daily driver so I don't want to get a real expensive pair of wheels that'll get ruined by weather and the crappy roads in my town. That's why I have Konig Heliums on the Xb I have now.

Any suggestion on a good wheel? Something I can get a set of 4 with tires for around $1500. I have not decided on size yet, I have 19's now, but may go with a 15" if it looks right.

These don't look bad either.

Yeah, but EVERYBODY runs Sportmax's. Like I said, I choose the Xb to be a little different. I know there aren't alot of choices out there for wheels that aren't played out, but Sportmax's are the worst.

Can someone photo shop some different wheels on the picture for me.

The thing that sucks, is the Xb doesn't come in that color. Probably get the dark blue.

MB Wheels' competition would look hot. 17x8 +22 or 17x9 +17 both would look good, whatever fits I guess.

Well I test drove it Friday. Not 100% sold on it yet. I liked that it had more interior room, but the original wasn't that bad anyway. And the addition of cruise contro as a standard was nice too. But not really into the styling yet. Plus, they gave it 50 more hp, took away gas milage, but it isn't any faster since it is larger and therefore heavier. May still get one, but not as of right now.

Serum, those would look sweet and I will have to keep them in mind.
