New 5Zigens, what do you think?

They are Bronze 18X8.5 front +48 - 18X9.5 +43 rear. Weight is 22lbs for the fronts and 24 lbs for the rears. They are wrapped with Azenis RT615s 245/18/40 and 275/35/18 respectively. Wow, Just like everyone said, these tires are super sticky. What do you guys think.

I like the rims but they look like 15's in the side profile picture. It must be the polished lip contrasting with the dark surroundings...

Congrats on the purchase though.

I actually wanted to go for 17s, but I could not find the wheel that I wanted so I got these.

The lip is not shiny at all. The flash on the camera is making it shinier that it really is. One of the reasons I got these wheels was for their matte finish. Damn flash is making my wheels bling

18's w/ polished lips tend to look small on our car because our stocks didn't have lips. the stocks tend to look "bigger" sometimes.

your 5zigens look nice though.

Actually,

It's Purple. It's a Shinka don'tcha know

Looks good Lou! Do I really need to wait till the new low compression motor gets to 2k miles before I can "drive" it

If you want to help me put miles on the car, lets trade. I'll drive your car around until you put the required 1,000 miles.

Thanks for the comments guys
