The carbon ones dont look too durable to me...If they really are carbon, and you miss the nut with your wrench, oops, there goes your wheel. Between the two, i would choose the 5Zigen. I would probably rather go with HRE if it was my choice, and i had the money. Those wheels are expensive, but worth it.

ok brace your self for what comes ahead from the IGNORANTS---not me
now, i would say buy what ever you like best its your car...but remember you want to buy quality and not quanity....the 5zigen take the crop...theres a lot of guys running them too...they are light weight , look good, and come in nice offsets....those carbon style ones would look nice tooo but i can almost guarantee you within the next 5 post some ******* is going to call you a ricer
buy what makes you happy bro

I'd say stick with the 5z's the other brand looks kind of tacky and I don't think it would match the FC well. To rotary noob, it's only a finish. those are my 2 cents.

yeah i was looking for practical not flash i am not really a flashy guy. i was thinking the carbon fiber rims would be light weight. and carbon fiber is really stong but i agree they could crack i just dont want heavy wheels. also i dont like to follow others that is why i am kinda iffy on the 5zigen but o well whatever works i guess.

If the second ones were actual carbon fiber, I would be all for it. I tend to hate anything that is fake cf. Its like trying to make a Civic look like a Lotus.
