No, its pretty average for a 19" wheel in 8.5-10" width. HRE's and DPE's are forged and weigh approx. 24lbs each in same exact size. For a cast wheel this 5Zigen is not bad, also keep in mind your getting a nice quality brand name wheel at inexpensive price. Even at full MSRP these wheels are very affordable. For daily driver street cars these wheels are fine.

Racing Harts, Lowenharts, Mayas, are not light and I see they are very popular on most forums. They are probably the same weight if not more. Expect 30lb+ range for some Lowenharts and Mayas easily. This also goes for the Volks that are not considered light weight. Your GTC, SF series, etc.. are not really considered "light weight" either, most weigh 24-28lbs range also. Only the TE, SE, CE, and LE series are lightweight Volks and the CE is one of the lightest in the aftermarket wheel industry.

Rays Gram lights (not talking about the 2pc Pro's) are cast and about 1lb per inch. Due to the recent price increase these are out of reach for affordability for some clients. Also long wait time 90 days+ turns people off.

Another inexpensive alternative is 5Zigen FN01R-C they are a cast wheel, 1lb per inch and extremely affordable. They have up to 18" stagger available. They also come in silver, matte black, hyperblack, and bronze finishes. They hold up great on tracks as we supply many track guys with these. (they light and very affordable for spare replacements).


hope this helps.

The 18's only come in 7.5 width. There are no other sizes besides 18 and 19. I do not know if they will be making 18" in stagger fitments. For now the answer is no.

Those would look much better in 19" versus 18" and since they are so heavy... i wouldn't bother worry about the performance loss going to 19.

I was at a subaru meet 2 days ago, a dude came with a s2000 with those wheels, I say those wheels are badass. $1600 he bought them for, the only thing was odd he had a tire stretched over the rims, but the rims are badass none the less. =)


Im looking for getting those one day. If I dont find anything similar and kooler =)
