Wheel Opinion please
 
I was just wondering about your opinions. Im going to be getting some wheels here soon (after my suspention upgrade) and I was stuck between getting Rota Subzeros or 5zigen FN01R-C's. Just want your opinions before I make the decision. BTW I drive a 2003 DX sedan. Thanks Much

I like the one on the bottom. But make sure to look for wheels that have a center cap. I hate looking at lug nuts.

I like these too

[B]The first one!

Definitely the 5Zigen FNO1R-C's. I have them on my car ('02 DX) in 16 x 7", +42mm offset. They look and ride great with my Yokohama AVS ES 100 205/45's. They're fairly light too, only 15 lbs in the 16" size.

5Zigen!

Hard to say...they both look pimp.

Buddha March-16th-2005 02:19 PM

i have the 5zigen's in 17" (bronze) They rock.
Rota's are cheaper though.

and hughes, neither of those wheels come with center caps that cover the lugs...

My wheels look similar to the ones on the bottom, but are another brand (Flik). I bought them in a package from Edge Racing. I don't remember how much the package cost, but it was pretty reasonable. Less than $800 I believe with Hankook tires.

Actually I found that through edge racing that I could get the 5zingens for just under a grand, 17's and falken tires. Which is a better price than I have found for subzeros

One caveat about Edge Racing, however. They got my order wrong (sent me four lug instead of five lug), so I had to ship back the rims and tires to them. Then, they shipped me the correct ones. This meant it took me about a month to get the correct ones. But I will say that the balancing was spot-on, everything came carefully packed, and a free T-shirt was thrown in with my order. On balance, not too bad.

wow... i haven't checked on wheels in a while, but i'm really suprised that the rota's are that much. Also note that on the Rota Sub-zeros the center has to be bored out a few mm to fit the hub on Proteges. You can check with Rishie at www.autornd.com

He used to sell the Sub-zeros already customized for our cars, and still might.
