Looks good but that also depends on what color IS. i would say it looks best with white or light silver but on a dark car you either want to go light color wheel or PERFECT paint match...imo

Not a fan of the red. I prefer a polished or machined edge.

this is a great find! i wanted the time attack and had no luck. this is a very close match! i say get them especially if you have a black car. if you like in the posted wheel section i have a pic seize did for me where he photo shoped the time attack wheels on a blk IS. it looks bad A**

This wheel is off my list after I found these pics from the Madza forum . I don't know see the concave spokes as the pic from Tenzo website. Just called Tenzo and spoke with the rep. He said the wheel won't be released until March so I don't know how this Madza owner got the wheel from

^ WOW that looks bad, but then so do most wheels in 17"
I think that because the rim barrel is black it makes it look full faced

Personally I'm not a fan of Tenzo... but either way, that Mazda6 is rocking 17's, fat tires, no drop and dull/dirty tires. Also, it's a head on pic which would make it near impossible to see the concave-ness.

Looks good in the advertisement picture... not so good on the Mazda. The rims would probably look better if the car was dropped, had dressing on the tires and If they were bigger.
