Ok I think I have narrowed it down to 5 zigen sport engines(hyper black) or monarch 410 mesh

Looking for that style, quality is def important, I know 5 zigen are well good for the price range Im looking in, Havent heard much about Monarch but love the style.

 

 

Monarch FTMFW!!!!!



they even have new sizes available for our rides.....even 19's now

mmmmmmmmm staggerd
F:18x8
R:18x9

oooooooor....

F:19x8.5 with 35 offset
R:19x9.5 with 45 offset

pure sex

 

Isn't 9 a bit wide for our cars? IS that going to require fender rolling?

 

you should be ok tho with a 9 ....i talked to one of the reps at J2/Monarch and he said the front should be fine but the back you would need a soft roll with that offset. If you go any lower or go 9.5 you would need to cut and pull

 

I have the Eibach Sportline drop, the front sits low, and the stock wheels are tucking a little, the rear.. well seems to sit only maybe an inch lower than stock.

I want to be able to still fill my rear trunk with wieght.. or have people ride in the back sit with out it having a chance of rubbing..

Also using a smaller tire on a larger wheels looks odd to me..

Id guess Id be better off doing 18x8 all around

 

5Zigens FTW! 18s with a +35 offset would give you no ride problems.
Plus, the HB color is just plain sick!

 

any more suggestions info? trying to order somthing this week.

Does anyone know the quality of the Monarch(/JAz/J2 what ever they are called) compared to 5 Zigen(a name I have heard of being a very good one piece wheel)

 

I vote 5Zigen for the better fit with no hassles.

 

Is that just cause you don't sell the other ones? lol

How about an incentive to buy the 5 Zigen from you?

:D

 

Jajajaja. Honestly, no. I just don't like the hassle of rolling fenders and stuff like that.

 

I have 5Zigen on my xB. Its a very high quality as far as finish and it's very strong too ( was in accident- hit the guard rail and bent the strut, but the wheel had only cosmetic damage). The ones i got are 16x6.5 in hyperblack. Its more of the light grey actually. Here is the pic:

There should be no need to roll the fender using 18x8 all around?

 

That is true, but you guys were talking about staggered wheels on the Monarchs and how the rears would need modifications to fit.

 

i love monarchs but there is not point in running a staggered fitment with a front wheel drive car...

 

I did not say I want staggered, I'm looking at the 18x8 all around

 

oh well he!! go with that bro, they are so sexy

 

Then don't worry.

 

Just remember that the lip you see on the rim in the pix isn't necessarily the lip you receive.
A lot of sites use pix of rims 20"+ to show off the phat lipage. You order thinking you'll get the same
amount of lip on your 18s, only to be disappointed that the lip is half the size of the one in the pix!
I'm not trying to discourage you from ordering what you like, I just wanted to give you a 'heads up' is all.
