how much are you willing to spend? I could recommend you some gramlight 57pros or something (5 spoke w/ lip)... but its gonna cost a pretty penny. 5zigen fn's are also a thin 5 spoke wheel

yea the price on the one i posted was about 800 and the 5zigen was about 1100 thats a huge price jump for only one inch wider, and yea they are pretty thin. i would spend the 1100 but it just feels like i ripped myself off for just that inch

Not just $500 more for that inch of wheel, $500 more to get yourself a quality product. Just sayin...

lol yea they are cheaper but these dont come with tires as well. i havent priced tires alone but it will probably add up to be the same, right?
