It's sorta tunerish but I guess that's the look you were after. Nice stuff!

5-Zigen JDM lesson: when you talk to your buddies IRL about your new rims, DON'T say their five-zigen, say go-zigen, go=5 in japanese and thats how its pronounced in the japan tuner scene.

How are their reputations?

Their wheels aren't that pricey but the thing holding me back is how well built they are.

,yeah, they do give that Tuner look, ill probably end up going back to the MMR's 6 months to a year, just wanted a different look so i dont get bored with the car, these are 37 offsets for both, they seem pretty well built, i just didnt want to spend a whole lot for wheels, ( volks, etc ), plus i still have my MMR's Next on the list is JDM visors!

I've run 5Zigen Pro Racer GN+ on my Scion tC (it was the only 8.5" rim in 5 x 100 I could find, and I wanted to run 245/40/17s) and they've been excellent. Even the wife hasn't been able to destroy them, and she's really good at ruining nice wheels. They're not the lightest thing on the market, but they're truly strong. They're on their third tC now and they survived this...



BTW, yours look great. What do they weigh?

Nice choice, those look awesome! Those wheels are one of my top 3 favorite wheels made. I love the full face design.

I like them better without center caps though.

Great looking wheel! Love the color and the style.

I really don't understand when people say it looks "too tuner-ish". What does that even mean? If a wheel looks good, it looks good.
