    My new wheel/tire combo!

    These will be my new wheels for a few months and then they go on my brothers car. I think they look pretty decent and if they grow on me I might end up keeping them. FYI, the wheels are made by 5Zigen and the tires are Yokohama Paradas.

    Here are a few pics. Don't mind the dirty car:


    You can even see a part of my new 323 garnish




    So what do you guys think? Are these better than my white wheels???

    Are those the 5Zigen Fighters? I like them very much and prefer them to the white ones.

      Yup, the wheels are the 5Zigen Fighters. I really like how they match the moldings of the car and my clear corners, which can't be seen in the pics above.

        definitely! much better than the white ones.
        what size are they and how much did you spend on the set of wheels+tires?

          I'd have to say both set of wheels look good. The Fighters are real nice though. I'm cosidering those too for my ride in the spring.

            I wouldn't say they are that much better than the white ones. As for size, they are 17's. My brother got them from a friend for about $750, maybe less.

              I like the gunmetal ones better, but not by much. Both sets are good looking.

                the 5Zigen Fighters look really good. I like the white ones aswell, but prefer the gunmetal.

                  I am starting to like them more and more. Here's a side shot that I like.

                    So does this mean you will be keeping them?

                      Both sets are in my posession until spring. I'll have a few months to decide if I'll keep them or not. It'll be damn hard to make up my mind I know that........

                          True....the moldings and the clear corners match the wheels very nicely and that's why I started liking them so much.
