Default Tenzo DC6 Version 1 Questions

Sup guys, currently I have the Super Sevens on my NBM tC right now and its awesome, I love the look although theres a bunch of curb rash on all 4 of my wheels lol, well ive been looking into a new set of rims since im starting to modify my tC now, I just got an Injen exhaust and some HIDs so im set with that, planning to do just a TRD drop, intake and sway bar but I also want some rims to set it off. I personally love the Tenzo Racigng DC6 Version 1 rim (black with the red lip). Does anyone have this on a NBM tC? I think it would look awesome, but on the site theres a whole bunch of sizes and im not quite sure which one will fit the tC. I def. want 18s and nothing smaller, it would look good with the TRD drop, which size would use? I dont know a thing about staggered or offset or anything. I would probably buy from wheelsnext.com, or does anyone have another good site to order them from? Thanks alot guys.

If they have it;

18x8.5 w/+35 offset. Or 18x8 w/+35 offset. I've had both sizes on my tC with no rubbing problems
with TRD Springs. Looks flippin' sweet! Try to stay with a +35 or +38 offset to make the wheels flush.
Oh yeah, get the 5x100 bolt pattern.

Sure.
With the 18x8.5 set-up... (I sold these, kind of miss them. )


With the 18x8 set-up... (Current wheels)

Like I said, these are with a +35 offset. I hope that helps you out.

they're Five Axis wheels, forget the model name.

I've got 18x8 Tenzo Type-M V1's on my car, +45 offset, looks awesome, i'm on H-tech's too.

+35 offset probably would have looked better, but they weren't in stock so I opted to take the +45's.

I don't rub at all because my drop is very mild (although lower than the TRD's you'd be on), I have tons of pics around umm..

What were the specs on the s/h techs? Is it less than the sportline springs? I'd like to know since you guys have no rubbing with the drop and low offset, and I want to run an 18x8 +35 offset wheel with the eibachs. I've been reading through different wheel threads and it seems like not a lot of people do the sportlines. Too low? Prone to rubbing with slightly bigger wheels?

not the time attack version but these are the 18x8 dc6 on a trd drop
some old pics






Ive then have switched over to htechs IMO much better drop




trd is not much different from stock, at first glance trds look like stock height on stock wheels. the front wheel well gap is pretty massive on the trds.

h techs are still subtle but noticeable and give the car a slight raked look. and the wheel gap is even on all four corners.

not sure what offset I have, I just asked the tire shop to get me the wheels and make it fit.

very slight rubbing on the front if the wheel is turned + start of a steep incline.

I definitely would advise against ordering them from wheelsnext.com, I ordered the charcoal dc6's from them, didn't get a tracking number, no emails besides the confirmation one, then a few days later they refunded the money into my account, still no email, wouldn't respond to MY emails, so eventually I just had to cancel the order and got some motegi sp10's from tirerack. Still haven't gotten a single email from them besides the first one "confirming" my order. just my 2c
