I am getting new wheels for my '92 S13 Coupe, and I am stuck between two different styles.

1st off, the dimensions for both style of wheel will be 4-Lug 17x8 +35 all the way around. That way I have a relatively wide wheel, but wont require any sort of stretching or modification to the fender well (maybe rolling required) and will fit with the NISMO S-tune "coilovers" I have planned in the future

2ndly, both styles of wheel will be black spoked with a polished rim. Black wheels with Sapphire blue paint with be teh sex.

Thus, I arrive at my query.

5Zigen FN01R-C or Sportmax 006?

I know that the 5Zigens are a little more common, and I like 5 spoke wheels, but the Sportmax's are very pretty too, and both wheels are priced about the same.

Opinions?

But Thanks for your opinions.

So in terms of weight, does anyone know how much the 006's weigh?

I know the 17" FN's are about 15 lbs per wheel.

No idea what the 006's weigh, but http://www.wheelweights.com has the FN's listed at 17lbs for the 17x8
