Default my have found perfect BUDGET 19" wheel

there are a couple links

5Zigen Copse

19X9 in silver 35 mm offset (may get a spacer for rear?)

don't know exact wt, but it the 17X7.5" it is 23.5 pounds (so probably somewhat heavy in a 19", but NOT as heavy as some)

Notice in my links the 5 lug look MUCH cleaner (the 4 lugs have the 8 holes for the different offsets, and looks bad)

Gorgeous wheels, and a great price.. . As a matter of fact I would get those other than the GT-C's or the TE-37's. The 5ZR's on the top of the page look nice too...

z461,

what are your thoughts of a Deep dish look VS a more modern/flush look?

I really like the deep dish look on a lot of cars, BUT then at the same time there are times I don't think the wheels look LARGE enuf in the deep dish (BUT, usually these are 17" wheels, so of course they look to small in that style), I did a search for the Copse and only found pic of them in 18" and they seemed to look pretty big, I would imagine in a 19" they would look plenty big?

(in other words, compare the 5zigen EVO to the Copse on that same page and tell me which one you like better and why---THOSE ARE the 2 wheels I am heavily considering know)

THANX FOR YOUR input

(btw, the ZR at the top of hte page ar $750/wheel, so that is out of my budget too)

DEFINATELY the copse... I think that deep dish look is just money. Makes the wheel look infinitely more classy. The flat face IMO just looks too stock. Not very many wheel designs can pull off the flat face. If you notice, the TE-37's really are a flat/dish look combined... There is like a 3/4 inch lip on both wheels...That's why I chose them. But anyways, I really like the copse wheels, they look pretty damn awesome

They remind me of the Kinesis K59 wheels from the SEMA show. Do they have a deeper offset than 35?

Rodh!!! Great job man! I know we both feel in love with the Moda's (classy look, great price, 19", BUT bad offset, heavy, too skinny) and I think this is in the same class. THe only thing I don't really like is the little black bolts, but they are small enough to not be too outrageous. I like the cospe much better then the Evo's

LA-Z, I have been wondering if the bolts come out and can be replaced with silver ones (hardware store), even though it is NOT a true 3 piece, many of those still allow for the bolts to be removed.

LA-Z, I don't have the car yet (still a couple months away), but the minute the car gets off the truck I want the wheels to go on, so I am doing my thorough research ahead of time.

In reality I want to see them in real life before I buy them, I imagine that TOdd from discount tire direct would know if the bolts come out.

As for a group buy, I could get back to you on that, when I actually order them (in a couple months), it looks like Discount has them for $399/piece and I have seen 255/40/19 Kumho tires for $189/piece, that could make for a very affordable package, perhaps we could get a package deal of some sort it we ordered 2 complete wheelsets w/ tires and hardware.

I am also looking at the 5 Zigen hyper5ZR, but they are more $$.

We're offering a group buy on all 5Zigen and Buddy club products for the time being. I love the new 5ZR. That's a sick *** wheel. Let me know if I can help.
