Does anyone here have 5zigen wheels? Ive heard they're good according to some people, and crap according to others, but i need first hand experience.
I've really been looking at these Typhoons (link below), but sometimes i have really...odd taste, so what looks good to me looks shitty to everyone else.

All i want is a good looking japanese wheel with a nice polished lip, in 17 or (preferably) 18, is that so hard to find? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

When I get wheels for my s14 that is what I'm buying. I first saw them in SCC like five months ago and have wanted them ever since.

wouldnt it be hard for us to find good rims because most of them are 5 bolt. did you guys get a conversion or something?

s14 LE and SE have 5 lug wheels. The base has four. I'm not sure about the s13. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
Typhons are ugly IMHO. but then you buy wheels you like. Not ones I like.
5Zigen has cool wheels though. They are good quality. My Heifelds werent the cheap knockoff 1 peice wheels you can buy now. 5Zigen wheels are quality IMHO. My s13 wheels had a problem witht he lip pealing. But I was told thats been fixed.
I got my one wheels on the s13 from Autoimaging for a good price.

The only problem is they make really heavy wheels, like those heidfelds are like 24.3 pounds a piece... that is one of the heavier wheels out there for our cars.
West? are those just 300z brakes up front... cause those look freakin great.

I just got my typhoon wheels two weeks ago. I got the gun metal ones. They look bad ass! They got some sick ass lip (deep dish) on them. Definitely recommend for any one who owns an s14. I own a white 97 240sx. Will post pics soon.

Oh, and how much did you pay for them, if you don't mind me asking? And what size tires you running?
Those wheels kick SO much ass. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Your are incorrect sir. My Heidfelds are the real 3 piece wheels, not the imatation 1 piece wheels. So they actaully wweight 18lbs for a 18x7 wheels. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'> Oh and my wheels on the s13 only weight 18lbs too.
And those a Brembo 13.1" Brake Kit <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Good. I didn't think that this infamous west would put something that heavy on his cars <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>. They look sweets as hell and I just found a guy in montreal who sells 5zigen anything... so I will be looking. If you don't mind what did you pay for those REAL 5 zigens... and do they have wider than x7? I would have though that 18's would have been at least 7.5 or did you choose 7 to keep wieght down or something.
