I'm rather partial to the 5Zigens, since I got an almost identical mesh wheel for my G. (RPM R-505 - el cheapo FTW)

NISMO . . . lighter is better for performance. I have a set of Rays track rims and I can feel a big difference between those light rims & my heavy '06 stock rims.

I've gone for 5Zigen's but they're not my favourite wheels. The Nismos look too small and tucked in the 18". Now 19" Nismos with a 10.5" rear would have won hands down.....

Get the 5Zigen!

The more ppl get other wheels the less they will get my Nismo LM-GT4

Honestly though there is a HUGE difference when you're talking wheel weight in relation to performance. Even going from my Volk GT-S (24lbs f/ 26 lbs r) to my Nismo LM-GT4 (20.4 lbs f/20.7 lbs r) I felt an increable performance boost and mind you with the Nismo (Forged Monoblocks) the Volks are pretty light for 19s already (2 piece design forged outer/cast inner)

Considering the 5zigen weights about ~10 lbs per wheel that means you're putting on an extra 40 lbs and thats really going to hurt you.
