I have been talking with 5Zigen about producing the FN01RC in the 17x8 +25 and 17x9 +15 but in a 4-lug pattern.

I want to know what you guys think about this... pricing would be the same, would it be something you would be interested in?

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Since I lost my E-Bay bid for some unbelieva-cool three piece SSR's, I would be more than willing to pay good money for:

16x8 or 8.5 +25

But I bet that 5Zigen is set on 17" huh?

I think you'd be better off going with a higher offset in the rear b/c I'm pretty sure you have to roll the fenders w/ that offset.

I would have bought these and skipped the 5 lug conversion if they were out when I was doing my wheels. I say go for it.

those sizes seem to be more towards S14, when there are a lot more 4 lug S13's then S14's. How bout 17x8 in +25 and the 17x9 in +30 for S13's. Or maybe even 17x9 +20 and 17x10+30.

Have you posted this on other forums yet? Im sure there would be a ton of support backing the sizes, maybe help get them into production.

The problem with the different offsets is quantity... if we simply take a wheel thats already being made and go to 4-lug it's alot easier than redesigning / tooling the production setup, which would require alot more quantity from the supplier to make it worth while.

Yeah, I'd be down for a set of black 17x8's. Do you know the weight of those vs the forged ones? If I don't have to do a 5 lug swap, I'd consider spending more for the forged (assuming they'd come in 4 lug as well).

Just get something that lies flush - I say flush, I mean flush, not 10mm over cambered in - with the rear of an s13. When the time comes for wheels, it would probably be my choice.

I'm definatly in for a set!!! I've been dreading having to do the 5 lug swap...how far away are we from having these? If they made them today i'd be bugging my wheel guy tomorrow!

What are they waiting for? Are they gonna check the fourms or just waiting to hear from you? How much would it cost to get them to "make" them in a 4 lug custom?

I am with you on that one. Thats why i am looking at 57C instead of 57S. For the 16" reason

Great, I've been waiting for some wide 4 lugs. Now I don't need a 5 lug swap. That is if it goes through.
