Tenzo-R wheels>Tenzo-r seat?

So what's the deal? Do people only like Tenzo-R wheels and nothing else from Tenzo-R? It seems I only see them time to time. I myself would like a Bride seat. I still like the Tenzo-R seat for it's price function. Who/what the hell is Tenzo-R (racing history, origin) ? Does anyone know their story , are they accredible? I have a Tenzo rally seat I bought used and I'm not sure if I want to put it in or not. It's red w/black trim. It's comfy and tight and all. Just realized I might not want to put it in cause of slider/bracket prices $158. Damn! It's not cheap. Also 'cuz I'm in love with the Bride seats, but soooo expensive, at least $700 to get all installed. I gotta find a sweet hook-up.


I still like the Tenzo-R though. I still don't feel overboard cool to put it in my car. I want to see if I can find a Bride for a hook-up price. I'm just venting.

basically all the wheels that tenzo r sells are knockoffs of quality wheels...and their seats arent all that comfortable at least the ones ive sat in....they hold you ok...better than stock...but what isnt?

I don't know 'bout the whole 'R' thing. Really that's the only thing that makes me iffy about Tenzo-'R'.

Save your money for some bride or sparco's, especially if you have an s13. Some of the other seats sit higher and people are known to hit there head on the ceiling of there car. Plus I understand that there have never been any complaints with bide and sparco.
Tenzo-R is 100% knock off I don't even think it is a JDM company

um yea...the US is coming up in making quality parts...and thats great...but ill take tenzo R as a example here because were on the subject anyways...well...they make nice looking cheap knockoff rims that have crappy offsets that will fit your moms civic just fine...but is this a civic forum?...no...so for use on a 240 they suck....and the seats suck, i kno cuz ive driven a car with a tenzo r seat...and also...if US made parts are so ****ing good then why do they make knock off parts based on established japanese parts? so you can stick with your APC chrome air filter and aluminum wing to accent those +45 offset tenzo r rims...but ill stick with my japanese parts...thats just the bottom line, japanese parts work better with japanese cars

hahah....Yea the only driving 'action' I've seen in this seat is playing need 4 speed underground 2, drifting my 240 hatch on the game!hahaha
Yea I sat in the seat last night and it felt not so great , I think I would like to get a Bride bucket (cheaper price,than reclinable) and put in an s14 seat for the co-pilot.

Any other good o.e.m. seats for a passenger???
Suggestions????
