I'm in the middle of finding some lightweight, affordable, good looking, and still in production rims and this has proved to be almost impossible.

I've narrowed it down to a few and I need your opinions: 17x8's

Motegi LC5's ~16 pounds

Enkei RPF1's ~15 pounds i believe

Or 5Zigen Fno1r-C ~17lbs

The price is about the same, sizes are the same, i like each about the same. But, if you have any pics of LC5's on a 1g or 2g PLEASE POST! I was thinking about a silver, Bronze, or black for those rims. Help me decide :rocks:

Turbo Shogun's '92 TSi. Good friend of mine. He really enjoys the FN01Rs, he and I agree they definitely set off the look of his car.

The Motegi LC5's look like updated Skyline R32 GT-S wheels. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.

I always liked Motegi Tracklites, they are 15lbs and come in 17x7. Tirerack.com sells them (or used to).

Yea i've seen those and I also like them. They are a little out of my price range though. I'm set on getting an 8"-8.5" wide wheel because i'll need all the traction i can get with the 2.4L that i'm building right now :sneaky:

Taken directly from his profile. I still liked his OZ wheels better.

So hot.
 
I know that I can get you the Enkei and I am almost positive that I can get you the other two as well. I work at a wheel and tire internet site so if you let me know what the best price you have gotten, I will see if I can get you a better deal on them and also which one you like the best. I also do tires and will mount and balance them for free. Just PM me if you want. Thanks, Keith.
 
My vote goes to the 5zigen's in bronze. I may be biased though as i run these on my own car, only in silver.

Wow! that was really unexpected. I will deffinately do that, i appreciate the offer. The lc5's are out of the window because i can't really picture them looking as good as the others. The tough part is between the enkei's and the 5Zigens because the enkei's are lighter, yet cost more, but don't look as good in 17's imho. But then, the 5zigens are heavier, alot of people have them, but are less expensive and look sexy as hell done right.

I'm leaning towards the flat black fno1r-c's though (going black on black). Kspharris I'll PM you a price and see what we can do. Thanks again! :rocks: :dsm:
 
No problem I will be waiting for your PM. Anybody else need anything let me know.
