Arrow Narrowed it down to two wheels for my Super Black, need opinions (PICS)

I am running 275 rear and 245 front, one set of rims has a lip and the other doesnt, I need your opinions. They are both 19".

The Z looks great with a fat lip. Go with the 5Z.

245 and 275 doesnt actually refer to the size of the rim, its the size of the tread.

not that it matters to this question, just lettin ya know.

Id go with the first one, second one looks cheap to me for some reason.

Yeah, i vote for the 5Zigen. The second ones (kong?) look like something i'd see on a riced out civic. No offence to those who are going for that look! I just feel that the Z looks much better with a big fatty lip.

I like the looks of the first one, but the second will be much easier to keep clean of break dust.

I vote 5Zigen. But not those. Try the Hyper 5ZR 19", same as the ones pictured but w/o rivets. They come in chrome and hyper silver. The ones you're showing are 20"

Agreed those are phony rivets anyway. I hate wheels that try to go for the 2 piece look but are not. Thats just somewhere along the lines of the fake scoop on the current Mustang.

I don't know where you are but here is their website.

http://www.5zigenusa.com/wheels.html

You can get a dealer list from there as well. I know they're not cheap. You might try looking through some of the latest import mags as well. Good luck. I think they'll look great.

Hey Tight-Z

Those Volk SF Winnings are much nicer than the 5Zigens. They were # 2 on my list. I almost bought these from John aka Mr. Bigalow. Go for it.... IMHO

John I can't believe you still have these. They are beautiful wheels.
