cant decide on 5Zigen wheels...

Im going to Los Angeles for vacation in June and want to pick up some new 18 inch rims for my Silver Evo. Both are hot but I cant decide which one to get. Which ever rim I choose it will probably be bronze.
FN01RC or GN+ ??

I like Justin's (the top one). His Evo is gorgeous and these compliment it perfectly

Those bronze rims are 18x9.5 so they look very deep and good, but since they don't sell any 18s i'm going with matte black 17x9. I'm going under the radar

both of the rims look pretty dam good. what color is your car? that would be a deciding factor, but i think that the bottom picture looks better

The bottom one looks nice due to the angle of the picture. Here is another pic of the same rim at a different angle and height. See the difference?

Careful - I have these FNO1RC's not the strongest wheel (they chip scratch easy)! I am comparing them to Volks though

I think Evodave has the same rims on his Silver Evo ...his doesnt look as good IMO... too dark for my taste and hard to tell from that distance.

1.The LE37 or TE37 spokes are too big and long. I would probably pick those if I had to buy Volks since they are not that bad looking but the price is too much. Right now im not really feeling the Volks...

Those Volk wheels I mentioned I give them 8out of 10 points. If I find some 10/10 I would buy them regardless of the price. Kinda dont want to fork out all that money for something your not completely satisfied with..you know what im saying?

But I think I just fell in love with these! Anyone know what those rims are?
