I'd stick with the old ones. I like the style of the 5Zigens, but they're a bit too wide, I'm not a fan of stretched tires.

Personally I think the 5zigens would look better with a slightly higher offset.

would the gift require to give back a gift just as awesome?

you can always keep ur old ones right? Once you go to a bigger size wheel like those 5zigens, its really hard to go back to old school rims.

If you get the 5zigens you have to lower it. Like low!

What sizes are the fronts? or are there only rears? I wouldn't bother if the fronts aren't concave face.

ya not a big fan of stretched tires myself but with any wider of a tire i will not be able to tuck it in the fenders. And they are 17x10 et12 all around so the fronts are going to need work. plus no matter what wheels i go with it is going to be lower . but thanks for the reply guys keep them coming.

+1 ... Except for don't throw them out, give them to me!



To the op ... Did you just get your car painted? The paint looks alot better when you put the 5zigen's on, either resprayed or polished/wax?
