I say NEITHER from a functional standpoint:

5Zigens are played out like no other, cast, not made in Japan but relatively light

Emotions, heavy we are importers but don't do this line.

Our alternative to both of these, STRONGER, LIGHTER, FASTER

haha sounds like the Bionic Man, werd

Enkei Racing Series of Japan. M.A.T. Forged Barrels, shot peened faces, heat treated, i mean all the engineering is there.

^^^^^Amen to that, I'm loving my Bortex rims

But if I had a choice between 5Zigen and Works, the Works wheels, even though they are heavier, they are a much more stylish wheel.

Even though I'm a proud owner of 5Zigen wheels (I have the ProRacer GN+ in Silver), I rather go with the Works on this one. Between the FN01R-C and XT-7, the XT-7 looks alot better and the color's awesome. Besides, there's not that much of a difference in weight anyways.

For 18'' Wheels with the same offset and width...
18x8.5 5Zigen FN01R-C - 21.5 lbs
18x8.5 Work Emotion XT7 - 23 lbs

Don't mind me, i'm just hoping to add some perspective for the potential buyer so that he can make a truly educated decision. That way he's real happy when the purchase is made.

Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +45 offset = 17.2 lbs per wheel.

Enkei RP03 18x9.0 +40 = 18lbs per wheel

We have no torque, wheel weight is your enemy. You can actual improve your fuel economy by going to lighter/same diameter wheels over stock.

I'll stop now.

I'D TAKE THE EMOTIONS BASED ON STYLE ALONE. FN's are just too old school.

If you wanted a NICE CLEAN 5 SPOKE, ENKEI RP03 FTW!!!!! Love this color too, like a dark silver.
