Hmm, not a huge fan of black wheels. I had them before and after you start to see them all over your kinda like "why did I get black?"

Anyway what color is your car?

Then yeah I can see why your thinking black. IF you got the first ones I'd like to see the bolts painted to match the car as that would set them apart from every other set of black wheels out there.

I think they are just a little too close to be deciding between. Maybe consider something that looks totally diffrent or something in gunmetal.

I would say the tenzo's between the two of these

i voted motegi, the tenzo's are twice the price and for that much you could get some bbs or ssr wheels in the same size.

Jack, I gotta disagree. I had black/polished wheels on my RX-7 back when I had it and loved them. Nothing beats the looks of a black/chrome wheel in motion IMO. Then on my 'balt, I first put some gunmetal Enkei's b/c I thought I'd try something besides black, but wasn't satisfied. One reason I wasn't satisfied was that I felt they weren't big enough, but that other reason was that deep down, I still really wanted black/polished. I'm now sporting 19" Axis Mods in black/polished and loving every minute I roll around on them.

Black/polished ftw!!!

Oh yeah, I prefer the Motegi's btw.
