5zigen Pro Racer Zr 520

[musashin]

So I've been searching around for nice 4lug wheels, and i found these awesome wheels that seem to be fairly new on the market. I was just wondering if anyone has these on their car.

The specs are 17x9 +27 4x114.3

Here's a pic:

Yeah, sort of a work cr kai clone, but i like it. And its got the deep face in 4lug, unlike the kais. And who can complain about the $215 price?

But yeah, I was also wondering how the flushness and clearance would be with rolled fenders and coilovers.

oooooo anything but chrome , I assume they come in 4 lug not like the pic

[j6250]

Those look pretty nice!

[wa-chiss]

someone needs to P.S. those on an S13, S14 and maybe even an S15. You know you want to.

p.s. I would but I don't have P.S.

Where did you get the information about the 4*114.3? I check on the 5zigen web, http://www.5zigenusa.com/engli....html, they didn't list the 4*114.3 bolt pattern.17*9 is only available in 5*114.3

about halfway down.

Not half bad for the price, nice find. I'm new to actually owning a 240 so I'm far from an expert but I'd have to guess some light pulling would be involved depending on camber/tires. I'm sure someone can be more certain.

[adrianfromthecastle]

Give it some ~10mm spacers and we'll talk flush

werd i was actually looking into these wheels i like how it looks too but havne't been able to find any pics on them on S14s...ifanyone has please show us!

[musashin]

Give it some ~10mm spacers and we'll talk flush

So with them being 17x9 +17, what kind of camber would I need to run? Would I need to pull the fenders? Because I'd rather not have to do that. I don't really want to run any camber past -3 degrees. Would the 10mm spacers in just the back, leaving the front at +27, keep everything relatively flush?

[eazye2000]

Not sure about the spacer question. I have a spread sheet that I've been making over the past few years that include specs of wheels that I've actually seen on cars, with different aero, fender flares, etc. And I still don't get it.

But those wheels are pretty nice. Especially for the 5zigen's. Any idea of what they weigh? Or did I totally miss it?

[musashin]

I can't find specific weight info, but one site I saw estimated the weight of the 18x8.5 to be about 21-22 pounds. So I'm thinking 17x9 would be pushing 20lbs. Not exactly lightweight, but not heavy either. The description on a few websites selling the wheels, however, do describe them as lightweight wheels. Is 20lbs for a 17x9 light?

[vda240]

I personally don't really bother about the weight, yes the lighter the better, but those wheels are sex imo and I will get them sooner or later I just haven't seen many pics of the wheel on ANY car, especially a 240. Ill try to dig some up and post them here if you don't mind.

Here how they look on evo (I know still not 240 but to get the idea)http://forums.evolutionm.net/s...98626h ... /s...nt=36

[musashin]

Those look awesome on that evo! That also shows you how concave the 17x9s are.

Dig up as many pics as you like! As many as you can! This will probably be the only thing that comes up for people that search for this, so lets make it a worthwhile thread, shall we?

[naed240sx]

9+27 won't even fit on s13 front.

[musashin]

why not?

too high of an offset? or just x9's period wont fit?

would the 17x9 +27 on rear and 17x8 +25 on front be better?

[naed240sx]

Nah, x9 is great...its just that that offset won't clear s13 front struts.

[musashin]

Ah, well, whats the maximum offset that a 9" wide wheel can have in the front then?

[naed240sx]

+22 with coils.

+15 is best... lower if you plan on wide fenders.

[musashin]

so 10mm spacers on the front and 15mm on the back would work well?

[musashin]

anybody want to photoshop these on an s13?

[musashin]

nobody?

[Clawhammer]

Why photoshop when you can SEE them ON an s13? lol

^not feeling them at all in chrome. doesn't look as good as i thought. oh well i decided to go with fn's anyway but these were a close 2nd.

[musashin]

oh. i wasnt aware of this other thread. my bad.

[musashin]

im not particularly impressed. too bad. these looked like they had potential.

[Clawhammer]

Yeah, I felt the same way till I saw them in that thread.

[musashin]

it might be jsut the color there that makes them look cheap IMO

they look much better in bronze. and without the center caps.
