I think they would look good. In the end, it is up to what you want.

I've taken a look at those wheels too. I definitely think they'd look good. Don't know anything about their quality, though. Somebody else would have to tell you that. Did they have ratings/specs on the website or anything?

Yes..I talked to a contact for Tenzo here in PR and they are 18 x 8....They have an offset of +45 which is almost like stock which I believe is +46. I beleive they wiegh about 22 pounds.

He recommended a tire of 225 40 18...which i think is pretty fair and our car should have no problem with it. At least from reading other tire threads in this forum I see no problem.
I also asked if I could use the stock OEM ones he said they should fit fine.

But I would like to know how they are quality wise. R they recommended as a Company

Here is there website:

Thank You for your information team. I hope I do get them. I once posted a tread about painting the OEM ones which do look very good, but I think ill go aftermarket.

Price was estimated at 850$-950$ for all four. He was not sure since they are a new version and they have not arrived over here. When I called they had just arrived at the US. SO he told me end of march I could go see them.

Well IsaIrc you are pretty right. I saw them on a Mazda 6 somewhere in this forum the Type-M's.......And just like you say they dont have that concave look...at least not with the ofset we need...Did not like at all.....Although I will check them out presonally late this month...See what happens..Ill try to take a pic.
DC-5 look very nice too...will also check those out
