Guys,

We are working out our sponsorship with 5Zigen right now. We have an option of any wheels they make, but we have narrowed it down to the FN01R-C or the New GN+. We are leaning towards bronze as the car is Kandy Blue and I think the bronze would be more eye catching as this is what we are going for in a magazine car.

We'd love to hear your opinions!

Okay, obviously I don't want to give you guys my opinion, so I will give you the numbers....

GN+ comes in 17x8.5, 17x9.5

FN01R-C comes in 17x8, 17x10...

Not really a huge difference....I really want to know what you guys think in terms of looks...

This will be on a 1998 240SX....

you can also get the FN01r-c in 9" widths. seriously if you can get any of their rims get the FN01R...they are forged and weigh hella light. get 17x10 rear and 17x9 fronts. the s14 chassis can take it and it will be killer. wider the better on s14's

Werd. If you can have any of their wheels for free.. get the most expensive/best ones they make! That much should have been a no-brainer.

Why get the cast ones when you can have the forged ones at the same cost?(free!) ..I'm sure everyone who's urging you to get the cast ones would have got the forged ones if they were the same price.. :confused:

Yeah, if they're all gonna be free, I'd say get the FN01R's

Hi,

They aren't free, I only wish they were. But they are heavily discounted for our car, so something is better than nothing.

I have to keep our budget in mind, so these were the two wheels I had choosen.
