View Full Version : Which is better? 5Zigen FN01RC or RO_JA Formula 5
mksm2000 09-28-2004, 12:33 AM Which do u think from the 2 is better? They're both lightweight and come from very good manufacturer. Do also consider the KATANA's or KONIG's?ENKEI are sweet too lightweight and affordable.

DiscountTireDirect_old 10-04-2004, 08:57 PM Fn01RC definitly!
Audicted 10-25-2004, 07:27 AM Fn01RC definitly!
One Word:
RICE
I prefer more European wheels myself, anyways.
bB384 10-25-2004, 08:03 AM Im ridin' on 16x7 Silver 5Zigen FN01R-C's wrapped in Nitto Neo Gens, I love em! I recomend em. http://autoimportcraze.com/images/nisei04day2/cl152.jpg
quadoptix 10-25-2004, 08:06 AM rojas..higher brand and 5zigen aint jdm for those of u that dont know =P made in taiwan now...yes go zigen manufactuering is cutting back on production costs so they make more profit...good for them, sucks for consumer. personally rojas r clean..denny use to have them on his xB..looks good =)
hahajoey 10-25-2004, 08:16 AM i wouldn't get roja's cuz they're kinda ugly..
they 'try' to have a lip but their spokes are way too thin and it makes ur
wheel look retarded.. i'd hoesntly pick the fn01rc over the roja(at least u aint trying
to fake the funk)..
and fn01rc as very affordable.. the enkei's u threw up were decent too but i think
that pic(1 post above mine) looks nice.
bBted 10-25-2004, 08:53 AM i would get 5zigen
PandaIst 10-25-2004, 06:35 PM 5zigen.

No offence or intention of starting a flame war here but, You think Rojas are more JDM than 5Zigen? Regarding Rojas being better than 5Zigen: Ask any drifter what rim they want. Most, not all, will say to get 5Zigen FN01R-C because theyre aluminum and are good for "sprited driving of all sorts"
flat__tires 11-17-2004, 11:04 AM 5ZR nuff said.
squirrel 11-17-2004, 04:55 PM WORK wheels! :shock: :oops:
RHDVIPbB 11-19-2004, 10:33 PM Everyone has 5zigen's. Made in Japan............And yes they are. Trust me.
Enkei has good wheels too. And everyone has Konig rims as well as Motegi.
Jeff_Chicago 11-20-2004, 06:19 AM RO-JA for sure!!!! If you dont know who Rj Devera is, then get the ____ty ___ 5 Zigzaggers! :roll:
the_saint 11-20-2004, 04:40 PM Who's Rj DeVera?
stankubrick 11-20-2004, 05:36 PM I though all ro_ja was forged or something? THey should be for the prices they go for anyways. For the same price as ro_jas i'd look into other high end wheels just because I don't like any of their designs.
flat__tires 11-20-2004, 10:51 PM the ro_ja formula 5 are forged wheels.... and the 5zr fn01r-c are cast wheels. 5zr also produced a fn01r wheel which is forged as well. as far as RJ DeVera goes... he is one of the key import scene icons. He appeared as the PS2 playing racer in the 4 car race from the Fast and the Furious. He's been involved with the import scene since its creation. RO_JA is his series of wheels under the Motegi wheel company.
Jeff_Chicago 11-22-2004, 04:21 AM Who's Rj DeVera?
Rj Devera is the maker of those wheels, and he is an old school car customizer from the early 90's. His mom also had a Honda Odyssey that did 12's in the 1/4 mile.

Oh, is she that "Turbo mom" chick? I remember seeing some lady w/a yellow odyssey at the strip on a TV show a few years ago.
chillenn310 11-22-2004, 06:41 AM id say 5zigen.. they look sick. enkei's are dope too, especially the rpf1's. yeahh thats just my two cents.

Thats her (Charlotte Devera)!!!! She is one of the nicest people i have ever meet before in my life!!!!!!!! RJ is just as great of a person also!
superjeer 11-22-2004, 07:34 PM I like the roja's, but go with what's the lightest you can afford. weight makes a huge difference with these cars, due to their limited power :)
2tone_xB 11-22-2004, 11:22 PM Not my style of rims, but I would pick another RO_JA set.
Met RJ at HIN, very nice guy.
nyteryda3 11-23-2004, 04:20 AM go with the zigen's
rijowysock 12-05-2004, 12:25 AM FN01R>>>roja>>>FN01RC

Everybody and their mom has the 5ZR (Which is US Market only as far as I know), a few have the FN01R-C, especially in silver, I've only seen one other xB with the same color as me.
