what ya think of these 5zigens

the offset isnt as nice as i would like them to be +38rear and +40 front but i do like how they look, but i have yet to see them on a sedan. i was not able to find the weight either.

I think coupe 19s would look better, but im sure someone could do a quick photoshop of those for you.

They'll look okay. The spokes are a little too thin for me, especially being a 5 spoke. You'll def need spacers.

i have been on and off about spacers atm... and i have decided not to go with spacers since i am a chicken sh*t better safe than sorry.

when u say spokes are too thin.. do you mean the actual construction of the rim itself?

Spacers are in no way dangerous if they are installed right. I've had mine on with the heavy a$$ chrome 20's for months now and never had a problem.

Not the construction, just the thin design. It leaves more room for the ugly stock brakes to show through.

I like the spoke design i'm just not diggin how it curves in like a bowl where the lug nuts are. You should look for a g with these wheels to see how it looks or like they said photoshop is a great tool.

Not a fan of them. Kinda looks like they belong on an old Grand Am.

Unless you have a BBK, you probably don't want that much space between the spokes.

How wide? offsets are useless if you don't know how wide they are.

But here is the thing. I think they're ugly, and I wouldn't put them on my car.

What if you were absolutely in love with these wheels? Would my opinon matter or not really?

For the record I really think they're ugly...I've seen them in real life and the curve of the spokes make it look very cheaply made. The one picture is a 1 piece cast version, they do make the exactly same design in 3 piece, and still equally cheap looking.

But if you were to buy these because you were in love with them, I wouldn't flame you for it. Afterall, it's your car, and while it's not my first choice in wheels, it's not really HORRIBLE.

So thus I conclude, asking people for opinons on taste is a hit or miss. The one that should truly matter is the one within yourself. Now if you were worried about objective things like performance and reliability...that's a whole other ball park.

I like them. They remind me of the rims on TTrank's sedan.
