Tenzo Rims, Wierd answer from wheelbuy.com Options

[UTSlickVic]

Wanted to order 18x7.5 Tenzo RS5 rims-Silver, with +38 offset. Wheelsnext was out of stock. Called wheelbuy.com and they said they had them, but only +40 offset.

I basically told him I was looking for +38, then he said Tenzo did not make a +38 wheel He made it seem like Tenzo did not make ANY rim of +38 offset.

First: Is this true?

Second: Should I settle for the +40 offset? For all the $ I'm spending, I figure I should get what I want. PS: I want to avoid using spacers.... thats another reason.

Third: Does anyone know where I can order: 18x7.5 Tenzo RS5 rims-Silver, with +38 offset.

+38 = +40 in offset speak. We ARE talking about 2mm here. Thats 1/5 of a centimeter difference. They fit and no one will be able to tell the difference.

Dude! i was thinking the same thing! I talk to my friend and he said you might be suprised how a +38 and a +40 offset might differ. We all know how tricky buying the right rims is. I thought it might "say" 2mm on paper and look totally different in person.

I was just thrown off by that guys comment. I figure if others make +38 y not Tenzo.

Thanks jgreening.

Anyone elses 2-cents on this?

wheels only come in certain offsets. they usually pertain to what cars they are meant for. I checked the tenzo-r website and the only offset those wheels come in is +42

17x7
5X100/114.3
42mm

Ummm you maybe right. Now that I think of it, wheelbuy may have said either +40 or +42. I'll call them tomorrow to double chk.

unless you are getting a real good price or have your heart set on them I would try to find a different set. mine are +42 and they look sucked in especially in back

Yeah, I may have to look for another rim I assumed you had +42. I was actually going to ask if you were happy with your offset.

Thanks for you reply gh0st_d0g, it helps.

Ok, called wheelbuy.com yeaterday, and they said that rim only comes in +45 offset... Well, either way if it's +42 or +45, that will not work. I guess I will begin the painful search for the right (18x7.5, +38 offset) rim.
