If I wash the ride, and armour all the tires, will you like em?? The sun makes them look almost silver. They are actually closer to black color. They're graphite. I don't get it?? just okay (i know everyone has their own taste...that's why they make all kinds of rims...right) ? These rilms are the bomb! I love them! Nobody else even has these. The only other wheels I've seen on this site are TSW and Mandrus. The chrome lip and chrome wheels in general are out. Somebody mount up some Breytons!!! I want to see it!

not bad, but putting tenzo's on a crossfire is like putting rota's on a civic.
imo

I like the rims but as you found out, we have a tough crowd. People tend to look at the whole package and if it's not complete yet ... well something looks wrong. Get some tire black on those tires and take a picture in the shade so I can get a better idea how they compliment the blacked out look you have going on. Oh, and don't worry if your choice isn't the favorite of everyone else. Your the first I've seen with Tenzos on a Crossfire.

Well I like them, similar to mine but with out the lip. Much better looking than the factory 6 spoke or the srt rims. The only problem with this style of rim is they are a PITA to clean and take a while but is well worth it. Good Choice!

I like the look, personaly i wouldnt have picked tenzo's but thats me.

It just weird without it being lowered.
If you're putting wheels on a car it needs to be slammed first or it just looks out of place

Infinite. I don't think it looks weird at all, but I would like to lower it. I'll probably do that here soon.
I started my search for all black rims. I could hardly find any black wheels without a polished lip. So the tenzos made the grade. BBS and Breyton had some nice wheels but nobody seems to have the bolt circle for a crossfire. I actually bought new front hubs to have them redrilled for Breytons but decided that was just too much. I have 3 other car projects.

Thanks for the positive comments.
and honest opinions too I guess...
and negative comments (i guess I need to hear em all)

I like them regardless so that's what counts.

I'll try to post my specs on the wheel/tire combo soon.

The wheels look decent, but I need to see the whole picture (clean ride, nice tire dress, etc) and I know (according to you) that chrome is out, but my baby thinks otherwise

Boiler...Your wheels look good. I just like to put black wheels (in this case graphite) on everything. Your ride is super clean too. I don't know if mine's ever been that spiffed up. I'm diggin' the lens tint too.

Thanks a lot, it is a pain in the a$$ to keep a black car with chrome wheels clean, especially when it is the midwest and its your daily driver LOL. The tenzos look good and with a drop could look even better. You went a route different than most, and while it is not necessarily the way I would have went, it is your opinion that matters. Its a good looking coupe, I think that almost every base coupe out there has some 'custom' elements to it, why I like them so much....
