Default 5zigen or enkei??

what do you guys persoanally think of these two companys for rims. I want to get different wheels as my last set of rims cracked ...has anyone had experiance with these companys, are there rims good quality ( i live in chicago so they put shitty chemicals down in the winter and i was wondering if the finish would last)

well here's the thing i had gram lights and my rim cracked after about 3 months and those rims weren't cheap. i like enkei's design more but 5zigen have a positive offset which is always good versus the enkeis which is a negative offset

I'm sure you know that they are big companies, that have sponsored lots of cars out there!
If a rim broke, doesn't necessaraly mean that all rims made by that company break or will break again on you!!!
The decision is all yours, you will only hear good stuff about these two companies!

i've had both rims before. both brands get two thumbs up from me. my opinion is get the more affordable rims, so if you mess them up again it wouldnt be that hard to replace. your wallet would thank you for it.

Enkie for me if I had to choose. 5zigen never really pulled me in with the wheels they have, but I haven't heard anything bad about them. What finish do you have- silver, chrome, high polish aluminum, gun metal, etc..... Some finishes don't hold up well in snow ice and salt. Like chrome, winter elements will eat the wheels alive. Trust me, I know where your coming from, I lived in Detroit for 29 years......
