Are a few others out there. I always look at materials used in the construction of the wheel. Then, of course, I go for what I want as far as styling. A few other factors include weight, dimensions, color and finally, price. I could care less about the manufacturer of the wheel.
If I could afford some white Volk TE-37's, then I would get a set, not much else out there as strong or as light as magnesium. So, I opted for a set of 17" white SSR GT1's, made from forged aluminum. Not as light as magnesium, but almost as strong, definately a lot stronger than cast aluminum, which is what most wheels, that cost 100-200 each are made from.

Rep Power: 0 There are a lot of good brand name rims out there. Depending on the style you want as well. Some are light and some are heavy. Depends if you want it just for the style or weight and style. I personally like the te37 by volk racing, these are extremely light and they also look great. Your choice.

tenzo is more of a budget cheap rim. they are not very light. smallest is 17x7 and they are a fulll 20lbs.
they also bend very easily, my friend bent 2 of them on his prelude within a 6month span.
