Tenzo Cuzco -- anything I need to know?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on buying these wheels. Any thoughts/concerns about quality? What about fitment?

Size: 17x7 Bolt pattern: 4x100/114.3 Offset: 42 Weight: 19.2 lbs.

Seems to be a good price ($635 shipped -- they were $200 per wheel at discount tire) from a reputable dealer on ebay, but I'm a newbie when it comes to this stuff, so I just wanted the feedback of the NAM community.

Thanks in advance!

I used to have some Tenzo's, they are nice wheels. Mine had a 73mm center bore and the MINI hub is 56.1mm so you'll need a hub rings. I have a set of custom 5mm spacers with the 73mm center bore if you want to go that route. They cost me $280 because they were custom, I'll sell them for $100 shipped. PM me if you have anymore questions, I dont come to this forum much

I have these in 18" x 8" size. Mine came with hubcentric rings. I love the wheels. No probelms with them. I have had them less than a year.

Dark Knight -- It was actually your car that inspired me. I hadn't seen the Tenzos before I saw a pic of your car, and I immediately sought them out. So, thanks for the inspiration!

Regarding the offer from 4boogie (although anyone can answer this question): What do the spacers do for me? Because I can get a set of rings for like 10 bucks. Why spend $100 on 5mm spacers? Again, I'm new to this stuff.

Just ordered the flat black 17x7 tenzo type-m for mine. I have heard a rumor that the stock lug bolts wont work with these. Is this true?
