Damn wheel selections.. Im so undecided
I was pretty much decided on these wheels
But then found these
What do you guys think. I was planning on staggering the MRR GT1 19's 8.5 F / 9.5 R
But Tenzo's would be on 19x8's only cuz I dont think I can stuff the 10's in the rear..
Dilema
Im ready to buy What a decision

good luck! i'm having the same problem?!?! wanted staggered, but from what i understand...anything over 19x8.5 in the rear...you gotta roll the fenders?!? i'm soooooooooooo freakin confused about off-sets/wheel sizes, etc?!? i'm not one of these guy's that wants to slam my ride to the ground...trd springs, 'TAME' aggressive look! Argggggggggggggggggggh!

I like the Tenzo's more. I too am in the same situation. I've been going back and forth between several different wheels for the past few months. It's the suck. I'm waiting to see some real photos of the Five Axis wheels though, I might get their wheels.

Having the silver wheels will allow it to blend more with other cars on the road-maybe not quite so special. The dark ones hide dirt better too.
But-they are more obvious if they get scratched.
There are TSW Volcanos or Verde(I think) and a BBS wheel that look similar too so those might be other options

My ride is dropped on NF210's a bit lower than the TRD's but not much

I like the 2nd ones (Tenzo’s) well other than the center cap section, looks a little busy for the rest of the wheel.
But doubt your going to be that different in Socal, everything has been done, and most the time its first then the rest copy the idea. That or a jaw dropping idea happens in another country then everyone jumps on the band wagon.
But to each is own, everyone has different taste. Do what you want, but it might be best to photo shop the two wheels and see what looks better, or what you like more.
And about the 8.5 in the rear issue… That will all depend on the offset of the wheel and what size tire you run. If you are running a 225 on a 9 wide you should not need to worry about rolling fenders. Use the TRD 19” wheels as an example, copy the offset and you should be fine.
Best of luck, wheels are the 2nd hardest decision you can make, well 2nd or 3rd depends on who you talk to.

Called a local shop to get info on the tenzo gf7's. They only have a 1.5 inch lip (if that) and they said that the 10's will probably not fit. Looking at the XB, i think I need to get a bit more lip on the back and I think 19x8's might be a bit too skinny for my taste. I know its only .5 shorter than my original plan but a bit more lip will go along way IMO. I really like the seven spoke too but wished i had more selections that just the 19x8.. damn
The more I look at ather rims, the more confused I get.. LOL...
But then again...It did take me about 2 months to decide on which color XB to get

All I will say is that the wider they, are the more expensive the tires are. Especially on a 19" rim. I bet the tires for the 19x9 will cost almost the same amount as the rims (maybe a slight exaggeration).

They both look good. I personally would go for the Tenzos on a new xb. Im sure whichever you pic, you will be happy with. I was in a similar situation, and just ended up going for it. I was happy with my choice, and im sure you will be too.
