5zigen plan on buying today...

[lasermp5]

Hey all. Plan on buying the 5zigen FN-O1R-C today from http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/5zigen/5zigen.html.

What do you guys think of this? Price is $1150 shipped with tires. Think I can get a better deal through Rishie or another forum member? What do you think about the wheels on a laserblue p5? I'm thinking they're going to look HOTT, but would just like some other opinions. They only weigh 16lbs... so that's a big plus! Going to have to get a drop with teins or a prokit. Everything should be fine with a 17x7.0 48mm offset and 215/45/17 tires right? Post it up people...

i think rawny is selling his, but he might have already sold them.

 

[lasermp5]

bump...

 

[azian6er]

wheelmax is the devil just to let you know.

try to get them else where.

Go with AutoRnD. They are on the board and won't BS you.

I bought those wheels and a set of Toyo Proxes4. When they arrive I'll take some pics for you.

i think the 48mm offset might be a problem.

i think p5's are only good up to 45mm, or you'll have some rubbing issues. especially with a dropkit.

 

[lasermp5]

hmm I thought that only the 48mm would work... according to the rishie guide, 48mm should work ? Rawny was running 42mm, so idk how the hell that worked... pretzellogic, what did you order... wheel size and tire size please. AND does anyone know if Rawny sold the gunmetal yet? He posted them up waaay back in January, so idk if someone picked them up yet. After seeing pics of the gunmetal, I don't know what to get... Maybe I'll just wait on pics from pretzel.

Rawny got his powdercoated gold. Not sure if he sold them though.

Pretz ordered 17x7 bronze fn01r-c's with toyo proxies 4 215/45/17 I believe. Currently we are waiting on damn lugnuts since black ones are backordered and silver will look like ass on the bronze.

I think I ordered them in 215/40/17. The offset is 45, which, accoriding to the AutoRnD boys, should fit fine.

 

[MP3skaterNC]

ah yea. I couldn't remember off the top of my head, hopefully this backorder nonsense will be worked out soon, and you can get your wheels. I feel terrible for the wait.

BTW according to 5zigen last week they only had 2 sets of the bronze fn01r-c left in stock in the 17" protege5 fitment.

Ok, what do you think will look better, bronze or gunmetal? And you're right Rawny did powercoat them... didn't even notice them in his sig. MP3Skater, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna order from you since someone told me to stay away from wheelmax... shipping will only take like 2 days with them though cuz of the miami location but I guess I'm willing to wait as long as you can beat there price. I PM'd you about setting something up. PM me back and maybe we can get this done with. Anyways, bronze or gunmetal?

 

[Pretzellogic]

Well, if you feel that bad about it, you could give them to me for free
Seriously, it's no big deal

Lucky me I got them when I did.

laserMP5: Gunmetal would look better on laser blue, I think. The bronze would look pretty tasty too. (hump)

 

[alexlitov]

wheelmax suck. There are a lot of complaints about the company on this site alone. Go with AutoRnD instead!

 

[lasermp5]

I will then. Autornd it is. Awaiting PM....

 

[MP3skaterNC]

Your going to have to wait until tuesday, the shop is closed tomorrow in observance of parties... and the 4th.

 

[lasermp5]

Ah ic. That's fine. Gonna work on getting my dad "torinos" in tomorrow (evil) I'll catch up with you tomorrow, Thanks.

 

[protegeV]
