Default Possibly Getting Wheels - Poll Added

Hi guys. Early next year I'll probably be getting some wheels. I've been narrowing my choice down to the wheels below. I'm hoping to be lowered on Tein H-techs by the end of year. Please let me know which I should get. I have a BCP tC.

Gold/Bronze is always a winner since not many people do it.


Not sure how it would look on your color though.


The top ones take first prize imo.

If i get the first two, i'm going 17x8 +35, if i get the third one, 18x7.5 +35. I'm more than likely going with the one of the first two. I don't want to upgrade to 18's because the roads in my town are horrible.

none get my vote. if you like the last wheel, at least get the real version of it (work vsxx). fnor1r-c's are butter wheels IMO.

^I don't see it being a knock of that design. Big differences, like the bolts holding the face to the barrel(no room in the design for it on the 5zigen) and the design makes the spacing of the lug holes different. Another wheel maybe. I was planning on getting the Sport Engines a long time ago but my current tC already has wheels installed. I have me some time to pick out some wheels and am looking for a much more aggressive fit.

What do you mean the FN01R-C's are butter wheels? How are the SC3000 Sports Engine's fakes of the Work VSXX? It's just a one piece wheel and it doesn't have the fake 2 or 3 piece wheel design. Which wheels came first, the mesh design by BBS or Work Wheels? Which one's more real?

I was just implying that I have read a lot of 5zigen wheel fail over the years from pot holes/etc.

As for the fakes, I was implying the face of the wheel is very similar and the OP may benefit more from them. As far as BBS I wasn't thinking that route because I have the Works in that same finish. Obviously they were the first wheel that came to my mind.

I'm not here to argue. In fact, I don't even know why I am justifying myself. I just gave the quickest .02 that came to my mind.

I appreciate your concern about the 5Zigen wheels. I was only asking for opinions on the wheels I listed, not about wheels I should get that I didn't list. I know about wheel brands and what's considered a "good" quality manufacturer and what's considered a "bad" quality manufacturer. I'm not rich like you and I can't afford "baller wheels" like you can. I know about BBS wheels and I know about Work wheels and more, but all I asked about were about the 5zigens I had posted above. I'm not here to argue either, I just want people to stay on topic. Again, thanks for your concern.
