Yes both 17 X 9 in 35mm offset and 17 X 8 in 25mm offset will fit. I know a place where you can get a pretty good deal on these. PM me privately if you need any details since we are not suppse to advertise for other shops on a Tirerack sponsored forum.


Thanks

Alfred

Those look bad a$$. Would you happen to know the weight on those puppies, and how do they handle vs. stock Enkei's?

The 5Zigens weighed around 19 pounds on my bathroom scale (weighed myself+wheels then myself without wheels and subtracted.) I just weighed a stock wheel using the same method and they were just over 20 pounds. The 5Zigens are 1" wider also.

The car feels more planted with the wider tires(255/40/17) on it, but I can't really comment on the handling vs. stock Enkeis since I have changed several things on my car since I had the stock wheels on.

Cool, thanks for the info. I like the fact the zigens are lighter and an inch wider. I think I am sold.

Nice pics! I like how you have the wheels--and spokes--positioned the same in both pics, but you didn't crack open the windows in pic #2 Blue/bronze/lowered looks so sweeeet.

What brand of tire did you go with? They also complement the look.

It's interesting that many people have reported that the wheels weigh 19 lbs, where as mine weigh 17 lbs; I weighed them before I had tires mounted, as did the guy who sold them to me.

Depending on how you weigh it, sometimes it varies from 17-19lbs. Anyways, it is still lighter than the stock wheels.

those places don't know the car as well as the people on here do.
I had 17x8 +25 and they rubbed the brakes in front. My 17x9 +35s fit fine.
