Default Quality of 5Zigen wheels?

Are 5zigen wheels good quality wheels? As my search for my perfect setup continues, I have come across some of these that I like, but if they arent built well then my search will continue. How would they compare to Enkei, or RacingHart, or would they compare at all?
thanks in advance guys!

Well....I think they're a quality rim company....albeit my first experience with 5 Zigen was an exhaust for my Integra back in 1996.

Its like PIAA....great bulb/lighting company, but now they making wheels.

ricer cars?

it may not be expensive rims or should not be put on for the lexus if you say so, but they're still quite pricey....

like that GS with the 5zigen rims price out almost $1g per rim... that's quite a lot though. and that price without the tires especially would be almost as putting in the fabolous/junction produce/insurance rims without shipping and us custom fees

but for ricer cars? it shouldn't be worded down that bad especially a name brand rim. it would be like saying advan rims just put them on the ricer cars too.

oh yea not sure if that 5zigen was an 18 or 19... cause the 19 retail is almost/around 1000 each
but the 18s for the whole set nearly 1000-1500 roughly

5zigen is on the lines of Racing Hart..... they have pretty crappy wheels in their lower lineup and then they have really top notch wheels like the one posted above.... i believe that one is multi-piece. Overall I think they are a decent brand quality.... I would put them on my car if I really liked the look.....
