Re: 55555 The Official 5Zigen thread 55555
holy thread revival batman!!! 
got me some 15x7 +33 5Zigen FN01R-C
pictures seriously dont do it justice since the only camera i have is a 5mp phone camera in the form of the Motorola Defy android phone....anyway
went from this...
to this
got them painted in Candy Blue and fitted 205/50/15 Federal 595 RS-R
Full car shot.
and heres the reason why i got them....check out that caliper clearance! (prelude BB1/BB4 brakes) with the old Rota Auto X (15x6.5 +40) i could barely fit a credit card in there hahaha...need that caliper clearance as im planning on fitting Nissan Silvia 4pot calipers onto the car

Do they still make FN01R-Cs? I heard that they no longer did, one of my wheels has a bend in it and I may replace it if it's not fixable. I personally love FNs, I know a lot of people don't like them but they're super light and I think they look pretty good.
Here's a pic to keep it related, I won't embed it because it's huge. I'm not a photographer and it's a crappy pic but whatever.

I have an earlier set of FN01RC's (clear coated aluminum finish) on my project car - can any of you 5Zigen owners comment on the durability of the clear coated finish? I bought my set used a few years ago and they were spotless. The car hasn't yet been on the road since I put them on and I've got a decent amount of oxidation going on. Frustrating!

Dunno. Mine were rattle canned black when I got them. When I stripped that off, the original finish, which was the clear coat machined finish had oxidation.
Most sets I see with OEM finish are black, and bronze, and theyre the HOT Version, so who knows the differences.

I'm actually pretty impressed with the finish on the wheels, I would like to refinish/repair the curbs and scratches and whatnot though.
