Here is the link:
http://www.tenzoracingsports.com/
it is the first one on the page. Although it looks like it is so new, that they don't have any info. Now that i look at it closer, the silver lip would look sweet.

I've been looking at this Type-M with great interest. But the 18's are 18x8 with +45 offset. Wouldn't rubbing be a serious concern if lowered?

If anything, you might need spacers to make it ET40 or something around there as it may rub on the INSIDE.

DZ101 and not Direzza Sport Z1/StarSpec? I had the DZ101 on my Volks and hated them.

I see you and raise you Pro Race 1.2 15x7ET38 with 205/50 heat cycled and shaved Yokohama A048's
