I'm quite jealous...I want the same wheels but in bronze. Gorgeous, light, and hopefuly strong.

 

Nice wheels! I am anxious to see if the 5ziegen 17x8 fits the Evo and clears the brakes.

On wheelmax.com it shows those 5ziegen wheels to be $210 each in black 17x8. Where did you find them cheaper?

 

That makes 2 of us.

 

Here's a funny one 5Zigen is telling me to use a +25MM offset for the 17 x 8 instead of +35MM which they say won't clear. 17 x 9 OK and 18 x 8.5 gotta wait till dec

 

Now you have me worried. Discount Tire sold them to me, but they are on order. I may have to switch to 17x9. I don't feel like wasting $800.

 

Going to call 5zigen USA and see what they say. Weird how the 5Zigen USA site doesn't list the 17x8 +25MM? Was also told they have a 1~1.5 month wait on the 17x8 +25MM also

 

I got the 17 x 9 so that I could fit a wider tire down the road for autocross. I don't know what other sizes will work, but the 17 x 9 is perfect.

 

What size tires? Any rubbing?

 

Stock tires, 17 x 9 35 mm offset wheels, no rubbing, no spacers.

 

Talked to 5Zigen USA today. They also said to run the +25 offset and they have some coming in the end of the month. instigator might ask them if you can change to 17 x 9 or the 17 x 8 +25 offsets they do have a few sets of black wheels coming in. Hope this helps you out.

 

Well I just got them today. Unfortunately they don't fit. I am going to call Discount Tire tomorrow and see what they will do. They are 17x8 +35 and still won't clear the brakes. The spokes even curve out some.

 

...

 

Very very nice wheels. I hope you can find a 17 inch size that fits in that wheel. Keep us posted....

 

Hope they hook you up.

 

Discount will eat the bullet if the vendor said the wheels would fit. They have done it twice for me in the past few months. Are you going with the 17X9?
