That's too bad that it happened but it does happen even with some of the most expensive wheels. Did you deal with 5zigen directly about this issue? and did it happen within the warranty period?

Yes, considering they're cast...

That's not too bad, my 3-piece forged 18's are 25.4 lbs a piece.

FWIW, I used to own 5Zigen FN01R-C's on my last vehicle, no problem for 2+ years before I traded for the G.

Here are a few pics on my Z. for $289 and $297 I couldn't pass them up. Had them in stock at SPL so I didn't have to pay shipping, but they only charge $9 to ship a whole set of wheels anyway!
