I just got back from Vegas, on my way out there it was kind of late and I was kind of tired. I suddenly noticed that my car was being kind of jerky and that everything was going by really fast. I looked down and relized I was going 145. I slowed down.....Damn that was fun. Anyway I'm looking in to some rims, I was checking out Tenzo, they have some nice stuff. Looking for something that's gun metal color & lightweight. Looking at a maybe a 17". I definetly want a rim with a little more width to it to give me a little more traction & stability. I'm going to do some suspension upgrades after I get the rims. Still not sure though. Actualy I know jack squat about rims. All I know is, I saw a set of Tenzo's that were really nice. What would you guys suggest? O, I have a 1999 LS Teg, just to make sure they fit.

 

how much you want to spend?

 

$800 - $1500 would be nice. I've seen some for like $650 for a set of four. Not sure how good they are though. Like I said I know jack squat about rims.

 

would that $800-$1500 be before or including tires?

 

$1500 can be a real nice set of 17's and okay tires, or better yet, a real nice set of 16's and a real nice set of tires also. I'd recommend brands like SSR, Volk/Rays, or Racing Hart. I'd recommend staying away from brands that make copies and replicas, even though Rota has a great a track record of making strong ass rims.

Keep in mind that any time you get rim/tire combos that are bigger than stock that they will affect your gearing (bigger tire/rim = longer gear ratios, longer gear = loss in acceleration). As far as stability goes, a 17x7 rim will be just as stable as any 15 or 16 inch rim that has a 7 inch width.

 

get what you like...but from the sound of it if Tenzo is your first choice it aint going to be light...or good looking for that matter.

 

Uhmmm yeah including tires.

 

So sticking with a 16" (Stock is 16" right?) rim would be my best bet probably. I dunno, a buddy of mine has a teg with some 17" on it and it feels a lot more stable then mine. I dunno though. Anyone have any good suggestions. I mean what's a good company?

 

stock is 15's i believe :thinking:

$800 will get you a set of 15" rotas with ok tires. go from there.
