1)What do you guys think of 5zigen wheels? I dont know much about them and there is not alot about them on another forum. I really like these GN+ and the ZR +520s.

2)Also if any vendors want to chime in with a quote Im interested.

3)Also to the members Ive looked a tons of pic, but what exactly does hyper black look like. Is it a polished black or like a black chrome?

The 5Zigen ZR+520 looks pretty, just massively heavy. I don't care so much for the GN+.

Hyper black is shiny and can have a silvery color with the right light. Think of MR wheels but slightly darker.

Seems you like mesh wheels, same taste as me so I have two wheels for you to look at:

PIAA Supermesh one-piece forged (http://www.piaa.com/Wheels/08supermesh.html): 19x8.5 +23 @19.6 lbs / 19x9.5 +28 @20.3 lbs. These are ~2800 a set, you may get lucky with a discount.

HRE Monoblok forged M40's are made to order for the true baller:

Im really trying to find something that looks like these 2 that doesnt break the bank. Ive been searching for a couple of months and everytime I find what I like Im spending 2k plus for a set of wheels lol. Advan RS, Volk, Etc. I want a good wheel that looks like these that isnt a ridiculous cost.

I'm using ZR +520s.
Looks good, seems to be tough but a little heavy.
I did not have much choice due to the specific size I wanted.

The 5Zigen is a little heavier but it is tough. No warping so far even after I hit a few potholes.
I've friends on Advan & their complain is that the rims are quite easy to warp, light no doubt. Advan are not forged if I'm not wrong, better go for prodrive :thumbup:
