Re: New 5Zigen Hyper 20's

Cool....well you can add me to the 20" club too. Any suggestions on how to keep the polished lip on these wheels from getting scratched? I'm trying to keep them looking new as long as I can

Hey Surewin, It looks like I'm sticking with the G. Didn't see anything I liked at the LA Auto Expo.

Hey Leejack, Just a tip, to keep your rims looking new make sure you clean the inside of the rims. The front rims tend to get full of brake dust. I stick my hands in between the spokes and clean them with a small kitchen sponge and Simple Green.

Will these also fit the AT5? I have heard that some rims, in particular Iforged might not fit b/c of the Brembo's? Any thoughts?

Thanks Koni...I noticed the inside front wheels tend to collect dust. Fortunatelly, the 5 spoke openings are large enough to get your hand in and clean!

The lip does tend to collect a lot of dust. Almost everytime I clean my car, they hold water between the rivets which is so difficult to get to. When you start to drive, it leaves a water stain which trails down the lip...gets annoying.

Welcome back Koni !!!

Surewin, Your right about the water between the rivets. I blow the water out with an air compressor then dry. Works perfect, leaves no water stains.

I gotta say, those are the best/only 20" wheels I have seen that don't look too big or flashy. Congrats on the nice wheels.

Thanks cliverman.....I think they fit the car too...the pics don't do the wheels the proper justice. When looking at them, you can tell they are big wheels but as you say, the don't look flashy. To me, the look is just right for this type of car
