Any other wheel have a concave face like 5zigen FN01-R?

Hey guys, Do you guys know of any other wheel that has that angled concave look like the 10" 5zigen FN01-R pictures on the rear of the FD below? Looking for that type of look but with a bit thicker spokes.




Thanks, Jason

Youre only going to get concave faces with super low offsets, which means you will have to stretch tires and roll fenders... not ideal. Most 1 piece wheels will get a concave face as the offsets get lower, but I can't think of any thick 5 spoke examples at the moment

Nismo LMGT4.


Remove Nismo Sticker. Or keep it on. To **** people off!


Wheel is made by RAYS (same company that makes Volk) so it comes in the same sizes and offsets as TE37s!

That first pic looks damn familiar lol

I test fitted the rear wheels on the front today, and with a 17x10 +35 and 255/40, it fits just fine with no rubbing. I will be getting another set for the front.

So that size would fit almost perfect all around.

You'd definitely need to roll the fenders, but stretched tires aren't necessary, I have plenty of room to spare. I could probably fit a 275 in the front, and 285 in the rear with no rubbing issues, and with no camber. Not that I'd ever need that much in the front, but it would fit.

I really like these, but have no clue on weight. Price is very reasonable:

the low offset te37s (you bastard!) probably look the best of any wheel as far as concave. and everything else for that matter. too bad they cost over 3 times the zigen and even harder to get ahold of
