As some of you may have read, my EJ8 was stolen recently. I haven't heard anything as of yet whether or not my insurance company is going to total it out or repair it, but either way... I can't stand driving on stock wheels! If they do total it, I will still plan on driving an EJ8, So I have been looking into new wheels and have narrowed it down either matte black Rota Slipstreams or matte black 5zigen FN01RCs in a 15". I figured I would go ahead and ask you guys, what would you choose....

 

I wish every slipstream would dissapear off the face of the earth.

 

ROFL!

LOL Mark

 

-Both wheels weigh about the same(assuming the slips are 15x7)
-Neither wheel is forged
-Neither will turn heads
-Slips are a little cheaper
-5zigens wont get you laughed at by every H-T ****....


Flip a coin?

 

I could care less about bling factor and turning heads. I am just wanting a simple five spoke design that isnt expensive, so when I get robbed again(which I probably will) I am not putting a huge dent in my bank account when the cops don't find my ish(which they probably wont) After looking around, these two rims are the most appealing to me. They are not forged, but I had My Group Ns for over two and a half years and loved every second I had them.

L M F A O ! ! !

 

I've had the 5zigen FN01RCs and it was a nice set of wheels. My only gripe with them was the design of the wheels made it look smaller looking at it dead on, 16s looked like 15s. From a angle it looks good though, notice how most of the pictures you see of it is from a angle. The offset available for civics makes it look even more plain. The low offset one looks great though. It has a flare in the spokes. I had +30somthing offset and the wheels was just flat looking, advertised pictures has the flare look. If I had to buy new wheels between those two, I would get slipstreams in white. Slipstreams are alot cheaper too btw. Sort of kicked me in the nuts for buying the 5zigen because it got stolen with my car. Search H-T for pictures of the 5zigen and you will see the flat look that I am talking about. There is one guy on here with a 2nd generation rx7 with wide, low offset 5zigen and it looks great.

watchutalkenbout ***** huh im now gonna drive my invisible volkswagen out of this thread

 

i'd say go with 5zigen FN01RC's..i have always wanted a set for my old supra and they look nice on civics too..

 

Have you considered the Enkei RPF-1's? They're not any more expensive than the 5Zigens and look better, IMO.
