I like them a lot. I've been looking for some wheels for a long time that have a polished lip and are reasonably priced.

Where did you get them, Dennis? How do you like the quality of the Tenzos? Is there a wheel or tire chain where I can check them out in person, or do they have to be shipped to the house?

I did a Google search and found out that they are available in 15" and also come in white or gunmetal.

Wow, those look great! Also, a quick question for you. I have black boot and bonnet stripes also. How did you get yours to shine so well? Are they just that glossy, or did you do something special to make them shine. Thanks

I found them here...arqangel has em on a black on black mcs.
You can find em on the net (wheels.com has em for a good price), but I made a deal w/ a local shop here in NY.

Peace,

I use zymol detailer on the stripes...and it gives em a nice shine...
I also use all the zymol products as i just like what they do to the car.

Peace,

Dennis-

Who is going to powdercoat the old wheels for you? And if you don't mind my asking, what's it going to cost? I'm just thinking about future "recycling" for my R90s, maybe in a year or two...

I hope you'll post pix this winter of the recycled shoes!

I've been speaking to ...2 guys here on Long Island.
I'm thinking of making them gloss black.
-1 guy wants to charge $70/each
-2nd guy said since they are in good shape..let's just try to paint them as they are.
he'll only charge $25/each

peace,
D
