Black prefered thankz

 

Also have the 18x9.5 came out in them yet?

 

Yes, the 9.5x18s are out...I have 45mm offset for the rear in silver. I do not have any pics yet because the car is still in parts in my garage.

I had to call around to find the 18s because most of the distributors said they didn't exist...5zigen responded to me saying they were available even though their site says "coming soon" still.

 

How do they look? Does the center bow out alot or does it have a nice lip?

 

I really like the way they look. It has about a 1" lip and spokes bow out some. Gives huge brake clearance for sure.

I think for the price and weight...hard to beat.

 

I'm interested in seeing the silver ones on an FD. Think you can post a pic here? Thanks.

 

I would, but only have the 2 rear at the moment...and only one of those has a tire on it. I mounted a spare 295/30 on it just for grins...but going with 275/30s in the rear.

Car is on jack stands as well...but I can snap a pic tomorrow...just not a good representation of how they will look on the ground.

Wow, are those silver? They look almost like the bronze finish. Maybe its just the lighting. Can I ask where you got them and what kind of deal you got? I'm also looking at the Advan TC2 but haven't researched them very much, just like how they look. Thanks for the pics!

Yes, these are silver. I went through a local Discount Tire because they were the only ones I could get to call and find the sizes that were "not available" according to everyone else. They were $250 a wheel...17s are $220 a wheel or so.

The wheel's spokes are silver...the sides of the spokes are painted sort of a flat silver/gray. The tire on that wheel is a 295/30. Originally I wasn't going to go with this size, just mounted a tire I had to see how it looked. That tire is massive and looks great so now I am having second thoughts...lol.

I'll get a scale of some kind to weigh the wheel before I mount the other...but it is very light for a 9.5x18 wheel.

 

This should fit all the way around with 265/35-18. They look great, although, I'd lose the goofy centercaps LOL Are they hubcentric, or do they come with hubcentric rings? Any details would be great. These are nice, and are a good price for track-only wheels. How much do they weigh?

 

Comes with hubcentric rings and I don't much like the center caps either!

I was going to go with 255/35s up front on this wheel. Only info I have on weight is 18-19lbs. They are light...not sure if they are that light though. I will weigh the other one this week...need a scale!

 

Yeah, let us know please! I'd seriously consider 265/35-18 Pirelli P-Zero Asimmetricos all around (assuming you have 9.5 x 18, 45-mm offset all around). So much more flexibility with tire rotations, neutral handling

 

Do these come in 9.5 x 17, 45-mm offset? That would be great!!!

 

No they don't. 9x17 43mm offset is avail.

 

Wow... they look great!!! I was gonna go with them originally but I was having second thoughts coz I didn't think they would look this good. But I guess I made up my mind now! 17X8F 17X9R in hyper black will be on my car soon

 

Not bad. I could go for that. What's the cost? I can't find this info in www.discounttiredirect.com ?

 

They aren't on the site. The 9x17s can be found alot of places online (around $220)...but no the 18s. I called some 5zigen online dealers and they just told me they didn't exist. I knew they did because I sent an email to 5zigen who responded saying their www site wasn't correct and the wheels are now available, call a dealer.

So I stopped by a Discount Tire (they are a distributer) and asked them. The guy made some calls and found 2 9.5x18s 45mm offset in a warehouse and shipped them to the store for me. They were $250 each and I had to pay tax unfortunately. The 18s aren't in thier catalog yet...but they are out there!

 

Digital bathroom scale said it weighed in at 22lbs with center cap and valvestems.

 

22 lbs isn't bad at all for non-forged aluminum wheels in 9.5 x 18 size (pretty sizeable). $250 each is really a great price. 265/35-18 P-Zero Asimmetricos are 11 inches in section width when mounted on 9.5 wide wheels. Overall tire diameter is 25.1 inches. Damn near stock in OD. Enjoy!

 

I looked and can't find anywhere that says they have a 17x9 +43mm, only a +10 and +38. I did find that they have a 17x9.5 but only in +10 and +40. Maybe that info is old and they have more fitments now...

 

Last I checked (just last week) they did not make a 9.5x17 FN01R-C. They may have a 9.5 for the FN01R-R series (which is thier forged race series wheel).

www.5zigenusa.com is there site...but appears to not be up at the moment.

For future reference, the japan site is *probably* more up to date. If it exists, discount can usually get it.
