im gunna have to go with the 5 zigens on this one, although you didnt give a price range you were looking in, but they are very good wheels and you should go to spl to get them, and correct me if im wrong but i think spl has the best price on them

Yeah not lookin to spend 2G's on just the wheels. I do like those 5-Zigens though. Anyone have a pic of them on a S13 coupe? What other wheels would you recommend?

Remember, you can have almost anything bead-blasted and then powdercoated black.

Personally, I want to do this with some R32 wheels, there are a couple of sets on Ebay right now for next to nothing, I could probably do all four wheels, with the powdercoating and all that, for like $500.

Don't have them on yet, since I can't afford tires, but here are my hyperblack FN01R-C's 17x8 +35



Also LOVED my old ones, but they don't make wheels anymore and these got bent in the wreck. Team Loco anthracite 142s 17x7 around +30.

what exactly is the difference between advan sa3r and the super advan gen IIs? is like one a 1 piece and the other 3 piece because they look fairly similar and come in the same colors...the reason i mention is gen IIs are around $500-$650 a piece so i was wondering if the sa3r was near that

Damn biggie...after seeing those wheels, I'm not sure if I want black anymore I think those 5-Zigens might even look nice with just the regular silver too. Those Advans are sweet, but no wheel set is worth 2G's. Well maybe the Evo Regamasters (10-11lb wheel while being 17"). Then you have to get those light wheels to hook up...

What is the diff between 5zigen FN01R and FN01R-C? I like the FN01R's better than the C's for some reason (from the pictures) and was wondering what the difference between the two were. They look really similar. Also, if I were to get 17x9.5 for the back what offsets should I get (for '95 240).

The regular FN01R is Forged, the C's is Cast wheel. Big difference in weight, strength, and $$$$. Anything below +30 for 17x9.5, they only make those for 5-lug as well.

Its not for everyone. But I have always loved dark wheels. My first set (above) for my old coupe was about the first set of dark wheels that I had seen (got them in '00). And the hyperblack will look better outside and on my car (which is currently white, but will probably be 2-tone sometime - with black/dark grey as the lower portion). Its all people's opinions of what they like.

I think I've decided against the 5-Zigs, but they still look good.Any other opinions? Or just some sweet wheels...

How much are the FN01R's? Its hard to search for a price because the search always comes up with FN01R-C instead. Know anyplace that sells them?
