im lookin for a set of 17x10 sprox +35mm. i was looking at the 5zigens before, but they are now discontinued. does anyone have any suggestions for different wheels types? i plan on running the stop tech bbk up front so that may be an issue also. i would prefer to keep it kind of light aprox 21 lbs or less and im kinda on a budget i dont have $3500 to spend on wheels. any sugestions would help!
thanks
dan

 

no one else is running 17x10? i find that hard to grasp.

 

Enkei RPF1

 

On the cheap, there aren't that many (if any) 17x10 wheels. You need to look at:

Enkei
Volks
Work

If you don't have the cash, see what you can find used. Work used to make their 5 spoke Equips in 17x10's. You can sometimes find those used for good prices.

 

im looking to sped aprox 1200 to 1500 for the wheels thanks mahjik i will look into those

 

Check here for some good used wheels: http://www.rbwheels.com/

 

thanks for the link i checked it out. there are some good deals on there but i couldnt seem to find the size i am looking for. i will have to keep checking that site.

 

I'm sure you'll be able to get enough tire for your needs if you just get a 9.5" wheel. You'll have a much bigger selection at that size.

 

i was thinking about 255 40 17 tires all around (nto1 nittos) i wanted to keep the same wheel all around so i could rotate them as needed. i know the 17x10 +35mm ofset bring the wheel right flush with the fender. i dont mind rolling the fenders i still have to paint the car. what off set with a 17x9.5 would bring the wheels flush to the fende lip?

 

the 5zigens arent discontinued. They switched from the original model to the "hot version". I know this for a FACT, because my set is sitting in the garage waiting on my coilovers to show up. Cheers!

BTW: they look fantastic!
the difference is a slight hub redesign, the logo is engraved instead of a chintzy sticker, and...thats all I know, lol.

 

just went to the garage and took some photos









^ hot version.

 

thanks kenny im gunna give your buddy a call and see if he can get a set for me. did you fit you up at all? and what size tires are you runnng? i was thinkong about running 255 40 17. how much did you the set for w/o tires?

 

Even though they do look shmick....the zigens are getting WAY PLAYED OUT!

 

Yup, I agree. I briefly considered running them, but I never want to pull up at light with a 240sx/civic/etc with the same wheels that I have.

 

any one have pics of 17x9.5 +38 enkei rpf1?

 

^^damn i love those 5Zigen wheels

 

Check out the group buy that Rishie from Auto RnD is doing for the Enkei Rpf1s

 

Only thing Enkei might have in stock:

Enkei RPF1:
17x10 +38 5x114.3
SBC Color

THIS WILL BE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE-ISH OF YOUR BUDGET...... With 4th of JULY Special.

Looks like this:

 

The issue we're having with 5Zigen FN01RC "Hot Version" are the appropriate offsets for our High offset vehicles.

I've been checking regularly and they seem to only have the lower offset 240SX and 350Z type of fitments. If you got +35's then damns you're lucky guy.
