5 Zigen wheels...

does anyone have experience with these wheels? came across a great deal on a set almost too good to pass up. comments on their quality/strength would be appreciated. compare them to Enkei wheels or other Japanese manufacturers.

thanks,

Disco

actually thinking about these here $193 a wheel.



was going to go with Enkei RPF1, but the fact that i can get wheels/tires through Tire Rack, and Discount Tire mail order companies mounted and balanced with all hardware is too attractive and cheaper.

17x7 with 42mm offset. and i like the fact that they come with hub caps and the 4x100 models are not multi-fitment (no extra holes).

make sure you check the weight

Make sure you ask alex what the weight of that rims is, the other ones you selected were pretty lightweight and the Mini really hates heavy wheels.
