Damn that black is hot with the polished our center - very different. I typically don't like black (not enough show) but I would seriously consider for my white 8. Any idea on prices for 18s. I think I'll start shopping by fall...

Those rims look good on certain set ups, but on some the wheel looks smaller then it actully is due to the way it curves.

wtf the fn01s are older than dirt fool, there's nothing remotely new about them, even these finishes are old, and they're just cheap wheels im suprised people are amazed by these 200 dollar 5zigens. go get some works or advans for an rx8, rx8s are GT cruisers that need baller rims, unless they're for track cuz these wheels are super light and durable, its a proven racing wheel. and nemesis they are available forged and cast, the cast is called fn01r-c and the forged is just fn01r. the cast are much more common and about 1/2 the cost of the forged ones. these are good for 80's drifter style cars, i have a set of these on my 240sx haha, in bronze. sweeet.

I saw the FNO1RC forged rim just once in real life. Looked excellent, but it sure is pricey... and only comes in white.

StealthFox,
I wouldn't say the 5zigens are super light. Only the forged ones are, the rest are "light" but still heavier than most of their competitors. But you are right... for the price, you can't go wrong.

true lundh, they arent like the worlds greatest technology in super light wheels but then again they arent 800 dollasr a rim. they are light for the money, enkei and 5zigen are my favorite "practical" brands, performance for the dollar cant be beat even if some ricers like them, they have good styling, good affordability, and good performance most importantly

i agree. When i was looking at 17s i also noticed BLACK WHEELS, makes a good rim for a good price.

When i was looking at 17X9's it was down to...
Enkei
5Zigen
Black Racing

They are a Japanese brand, and are distributed through 5Zigen USA
http://www.5zigenusa.com/blkracing.html

EdgeRacing.com and RacingLab.com both sell them for a reasonable price.
