I'd save up and get some real Racing Harts. You always get what you pay for.

I love the designs that TenzoR has for their rims.. They look great.

But 17x7? What garbage. Who would put those on a RWD car? :(

they would be great if they existed in offsets that actually fit a 240... those things will look SUNK as hell unless you run a bunch of spacers in there. i dunno, i just can't stand all these wheel companies that make these decent looking cheap wheels but only in +40 or +42 offsets :(

Plus none of those wheels are over 7" in width. Maybe 8" for the 19's.

I really don't like the look... I'm more of a 5 spoke person

I'd take the AV-7 or the RS-5 both in gun metal... :boink

I dislike tenzo for a few reasons:-they rip off other companies wheel designs, then execute the design poorly(high offset, low width, etc)-High weight (I think wills tenzo mean 6's weighed like 28lbs in a 17x7.

i got some 17x7 in a +42 offset before i knew what offset was, and they are not even close to flush with my fenders. if you want cheap wheels go to http://www.wheelmax.com i got 17x7 with tires for $500, but after they are on your car you will want some wider wheels.

I had the shu-10's from another car and tried to put them on my newly "5luged" car today and they do not even begin to clear my new z brakes. I didn't even get to the coilovers because they hung on the brakes. Oh well. I would go with something a little better.
