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.

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 =)

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.

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"

Who's Rj DeVera?

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Not my style of rims, but I would pick another RO_JA set.
Met RJ at HIN, very nice guy.

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.
