These are bronze 5Zigens Proracer GNs 18x8.5 F and 18x9.5. They will soon be wrapped around Falken Azenis 615s 245&275. My engine is going back in the car this week so I will take pictures of the wheels by this weekend.

 

looks nice, clean, and light.

 

WEIGH THEM BEFORE YOU GET THE TIRES ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been trying to find there true weight forever now, and i could always use a 3rd set of wheels. LOL!!

thanks!

BTW, they look great.. good choice. I was going to get these instead of my Enkeis, but couldnt pass up on the ones i ended up with.

Lundh, I weighed the wheels last night. the 18x9.5 - 24 lbs & 18x8.5 - 22 lbs Offsets are 48+ and 43+ respectively.

 

For some reason, I expected those to be lighter. Maybe because they look like the SSR Comps or Volk LE/TE37s.

 

The are relatively inexpensive so I was not expecting them to be as light as volks or ssrs, also remember that these are cast. If you want affordable and lightweight Enkeis RPF1s are the way to go.

 

hey lou, i know that shop!! hahaha
very nice bro... enjoy them.

 

Did I meet you there bro?

 

yeah man! i met u there b4 u had the shinka. u were in an x5. we talked about autoxing & stuff...

 

Oh yeah, I thought that was you. Yeah man my engine has just finished getting rebuilt with custom low compression rotors. It goes into the car this weekend/early next week. I needed to get bigger tires so I decided to go with these wheels. I wanted bronze wheels so these seemed like a good choice.

 

awesome bro! i wish i had some change to spend on my 8 but i just finished getting engaged & i'm saving for a crib... u know how that is...
i'll see u around some time... i see ur car parked in front of the shop every once in a while... i need to get shocks desperately... if only Isidro would have some mercy on me... lol

 

Agreed.

 

Thanks for the info man. That is the weight i was expecting and its really not that bad when you think how much the 18X8 oem wheel weighs.

Update - the tires are mounted. I want to get your opinions on sthe stickers. I'm feeling the no stickers look. I put the yellow "GN+" and it doesnt look that bad, I also tried the "proracer" blue sticker and it looks nice. What do you think stickers or no stickers?

The engine is going in on Tuesday so I will be able to take pics of it probably by the end of next week. The car should be tuned by then, so I will hopefully have a dyno graph by then as well.

 

I wish they were a little cheaper. I was thinking of getting those for the track.

 

gotta love 6 spoke wheels

 

definitely take that GN sticker off. It doesnt flow. The proracer looks better, but i say keep them naked.

edit: looking back i think the proracer sticker looks good

 

The Proracer sticker is the only one I put on all four wheels. I agree in removing the GN stickers. Thanks for the feedback guys.

 

yeah, the GN sticker is nasty. the proracer one ain't bad, though. i'll be waiting to read about your turbo....
