ive been searching for a place to buy some 5Zigen FN01R-C wheels and came accross that Hop Up Racing site. they have $164 per 17x8 wheel which seems to be the best price i could find. they seem to have a very large inventory and i wanted to kno if anyone has bought anything from them or know anyone who has. i tried calling once on friday and once just a few mins ago but got the answering machine, but i didnt leave a message cuz i didnt kno when i would be home to recieve their call back. i just wanted to kno if anyone has heard of them and whether they are a reputable business before i make a large purchase from them. thanx.

i called them earlier this evening and they picked up. i talked with them and asked a few questions about their business. i asked how long they had been in business: 7 months. i talk with him a little bit about their return policy which seemd to be ok, after reading their policies it says you have 4 days after the product is received to cantact them with any problems in the product and after that, i believe you have to pay a 25% restocking fee. he also mentioned that they sponsor a few forums, one was dsmtuners.com and i dont remember the others. shipping was about $65 from cali to pennsylvania for all 4 wheels. they seem to be a serious business but they are in their first year so they're not really established yet. if i cant find any better prices ill prolly buy from them.

discount tire quoted me $217 per wheel vs. $164 from hop up racing. after i added shipping, tires, mounting/ balancing, i came up with a price that it would be about $100 cheaper if i used hop up racing. so now im not sure. either save $100 and go with a less reputable store or pay the extra $ to buy from a well known store.

Just use a credit card so you do have recourse if something does go bad
