Any pics of 5zigen sports engine rims?

I cannot find any pics besides the ones on their website which look like photoshopped pics. Anyone have a real pic in either finish?

There are some 19's for sale on Ebay in both dark and light finishes.They look like they have a deeper lip than PIAA's. I like this mesh style, but would like to see how the finishes look in outdoor lighting.

You know much about the quality of these things??
@ $300 seems like a low end product...

:EDIT:
Just noticed,.... 5Zigen USA is the distributor for Work now.
Do you think Work actually make these for 5Zig??

I can't say for sure about the quality since I've never owned 5Zigen. But I've never heard of anybody complain on any board about their product line. Keep in mind their primary product line is their 2pc and 3pc wheels that are priced much higher than these.

The MSRP of these wheels are actually around $350, which is average for cast wheels today.

I have 5Zigen Typhoons and the finish came off on 1 rim within weeks of use. I now have 2 other rims doing the same thing. Its not the painted part but the clear coat on the lip. 5Zigen does not support their product-as in no one cared and set me to no one who would help. Be wary, I would not purchase again.

These wheels are selling little less than $300 a piece.

I found www.splparts.com selling them.
Direct link to wheels

If the 19x8.5" rims are really sporting a 3inch lip in +38 offset, then I might be picking up a set very soon....
