I know alot of people have good contacts, so does anybody know a dealer that can get the new 5Zigen wheel lineup?

I know BC Auto is the main distributor of 5Zigen, but their prices are insanely high, unless you know them of course, then their prices are insanely low.

If you haven't figured by now, I'm shopping for a set of 5Zigens.  I know that all (at least I think so) 5Zigen wheels are +43 offset.  I'm going to be running 17" wheels with 205/40/17 tires, so I should be safe.  If not, I'm not afraid of shaving <5mm off to get a better fit.  But from what I've read from other people with 5Zigens running the same setup, it's fine.  

Lemme know if anybody has anything ... thanks.   http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

Yea a lot of the Zigen wheels are +43. There are a few that's +48 but they are at least 17 x 7.5 or 18 x 7.5. Which wheel are you interested in?

5Zigen posts weights on their website now for most models. Very nice of them. Yeah Mike those are nice.
I might end up getting 5Zigen wheels myself (FN01R) since the BlackRacing may not be here in time for the start of the season. eek. Hopefully I'll have it sorted out by the weekend.

the FN01Rs are sweet!  i thought you were gonna get the Black Racing wheels off of Ben from Wheels-Direct?

http://www.5zigenusa.com/images/wheels/fn01rc/new/fn01rc_logo.jpg
get these ones... FN01R-C.  cast aluminum... super light weight, only 14 lbs for 15&quot; inch.

rowan, are you gonna stick with 17&quot; wheels for your MP3? ?

BlackRacing wheels are lost somewhere in the Pacific ocean so I have no clue if they will be here in time for the start of the Regional series ... good thing I'm not doing Solo 1 this year cuz the first race is this weekend. Since no one knows when they will arrive I'm trying to find other options that are actually available within two weeks.
