Last time I checked 5Zigen didn't have a Typhoon that would fit the Evo.

They have a size that fits now. At least according to Discount Tire they do. 17x8 with a 35mm offset.
My only complaint is the weight BUT they are probably about the same weight as stock.

They look like C32 AMG wheel ripoffs.

Used Volks are still pricey. These are $215 a piece in HyperSilver and about $200 a piece for gunmetal with polished lip.

They are a decent wheel, but why buy something the same weight as stock. that does seem to be a nice lip for the price though. Its Racing harts or volks for me though.

I had these on my Mustang in 17 X 9s and they're not a bad wheel. I had the gunmetal though:

Any pics of them on the car? Now everbody is making me think I should stick with my original choice of hyperblack 17x9 5Zigen Fn01r-c's instead.

They look pretty sweet to me. I've been looking for some decent 5 spoke wheels with some flash to them. I'm a sucker for chrome (although from all of the wheel related posts around here I can see I'm definately in the minority). The Konig "Holes" are pretty cool too. Not sure if they fit though.
