5Zigen no longer supporting the FNO1R-C
After damaging one of my Hyperblack FNO1R-C rims, I was shocked to realize that 5Zigen is out of stock and doesn't plan on getting anymore. I have only had these rims for 9 months and want to keep them. Just thought I would share this in case someone else has these rims. If you do, better keep em ' out of trouble.

I think he is only referring to the Hyperblack colored fn01rc wheels, rest of the colors should still be sold.
May I ask how you damaged them? I also have a set of fn01rc, and they'll be used in an autox car later this year.

i looked into it and nobody seems to know how to do the hyperblack coating. i am sure mine would be repairable, but like i said they couldnt match the color.

I seriously doubt the FNO1R-C's are in danger of being out of production any time soon. They're 5Zigen's hottest sellers, and they are selling out as soon as they come in stock.
The Hyperblack finish being discontinued is a possibility, though.

I just spoke to 5Zigen (they called me!), and the only thing that is officially out of production is the 43mm offset. They did however offer to give me a free 35mm offset (plus me buying one)so I can put the 43's up front and run new 35's in the rear. They were very concerned about making me happy. Will 35mm ofset work in the rear on a 17x9 rim?

I know everyone says to go with a 43mm offset....but I like my wheels to sit exactly flush with the fender line and a 35mm offset fit dead on."

Better not lower the car and expect to be able to turn the front wheels.
