  • What do you think?

    After trawling through forums, and having a heart attack at shipping from USA.

    Decided to check in at my local Tempe Tyres. (god bless them).



    They are light! I would say 8-9Kgs, but can't find official figure.
    They really only had 3 wheels to choose from, and these look best. Other 2 were black mesh style with machined and red lips.

    What you guys reckon?
    And they are in budget as well.

    I looked at these as potential wheels but the concave face on the pictures is nowhere near what they look like in real life.

    When on a real car they don't look anywhere near as good.

    Google lenzo type M or Tenzo type M

      are you saying that the type m's are not as concave as they look in photos?

      i don't like the colour scheme, as it doesn't suit the DBP on my car.

      you don't like the DC-6's?

        The Type M's in real life are very flat.
        In the promo photos they seem to cave inwards but they have exagerated how much the concave face actually curves inwards.

        Blue is a very hard colour to pick.
        You would have to go white, silver or gunmetal/charcoal to suit.

        I don't think the DC-6's would suit as they are very jap inspired.
        Why not look at jaxquickfit wheel selector as you can search for a golf mk4 and all wheles they have that fit.

          yeah, the type m's are quite flat.

          but as you said, blue isn't easy.

          i like JDM style, that's probably the problem.

          will check out Jax, thanks.

            Jax has some euro wheels.
            Also have a look at other options such as the mk4 GTI wheel choice and see if they have some other wheels that you like.

            Personall, i love the Kahn RSC's and the Kahn RSV's are my second choice if not the BBS's.

              don't like the Kahn's, ey...
              yeah the BBS's are too much god damn money.

              i know it is for my baby, but can't justify so much money on wheels.

              I would rather import them, if I had to.

                  Hmm, well in the end it's your choice of wheels and you have to live with it.

                  Bronze would stnad out on a blue car as well.

                  All the best with your choice.

                        Or get them powdercoated in bronze/charcoal

                          Or black. DBP with black wheels looks ace! BTW- Sorry I'm not a fan of the DC-6's just don't suit the car IMO. But its up to you, if you like them go for it. Personally I would get BBS wheels, I do really like the stock rims though. Maybe keep an eye out for a used set of wheels. Some inspiration...

                            that is my pet hate, that they are so heavy.

                            that was the other option, but wheels will be the same weight, and don't know if i want black wheels.

                              Looks pretty good.
