Does anyone know anything about Tenzo R wheels?
Looking to possibly get a set of Concept 10 for my wife's new X3 in 19".
Any vendors on here carry them?
Are they hub centric?
Thanks

Yes, it does! Thank you.

Maybe I'll go for Breyton's or CSL's for her X3 instead.

I like the look of those wheels but I'd pass for sure if they were sold at pepboys

tenzo-r is junk. shit came out in the late 90s and was cheap quality shit. even their attempt to be replicas still ended up terrible. that says a lot... if u cant even copy correctly, what the hell can they do anything correctly?!

wow they started off making intakes for b16's in the late 90's and rep strut braces, im just saying thats cheap as hell for bmws.

Tenzos are cheapo wheels! Invest your money elsewhere! If that's the style wheel your looking at, try a few of these options!

Avant Garde Wheels

VMR Wheels

^^^ Hahaha! Really? Seriously?

Both VMR and Avant Garde should be at the bottom of your list of wheels for BMW. Why? Because they are cast, heavy and usually of mediocre quality. I'll toss the Miro in the same bin as the other two.

Up till recently, people were waiting for over 5 months to get a set of VMRs. HAHAH! Ridiculous!

P.S.: The fact that a set of wheels is popular does not make them a good wheel. For the same cash you spend on VMRs, you can get super strong light weight Apex wheels which will outperform the vast majority of cast wheels available out there...

heheh. That sounds about right. I used to have a Tenzo muffler on my Cavalier back in high school (mid-late 90's).

Thanks for all the info. That's the reason I started this thread.
Obviously I don't want to cheap out over wheels for my wife's car so the Tenzo are out.

I have Advan RS for my summer tires, Enkei RPF1 for my R-comps and Rial Solero for my winter tires.

I'm definitely considering Apex and Forgestar. Possiblye TSW or Breyton as well. I'd like to run square 19x8.5.

The really cool thing is she asked me about bigger wheels. She loved her 325xi when I put my 162s on it for the summertime!

Her car is Alpine White with Chestnut Brown interior.
I'm thinking along the lines of something like thie:

Yes seriously! Not everyone is going to drop $3k+ on wheels. For the price you pay, these wheels are pretty good.

If you do a search on the forum, you are going to see that people would recommend Avant Garde wheels over VMR, cuz Avant Garde is low pressure cast. This makes the quality and durability of the wheel better! You can ask any of the vendors on this site that sell Avant Garde!
