5ZIGEN 5ZR 16X7" alloy wheels

Wheels at the SEMA show [8 spoke]

When I first saved up enough money to even think about new wheels, I had alot of opinions concerning all of the available styles out on the market. But price overtook my opinion of style.

I bought these alloy 5ZIGEN 5ZR's, 16"x7", with a new set of inexpensive BFGoodrich Euro T/A 16x40x205, for only $600. I would rather have bought a 5 of 6 spoke design like those found on Ferraris, but for the price of these 10 spoke wheels, I could not complain. And once I got them on my car, they looked a whole lot better than I thought they were going to.

 

So about the tires... The fronts lasted about 7,000 miles, and the rears have a good 70% life left. So this just proves that I was lazy and did not get my alignment fixed after I lowered my car. Stupid me. Performance: I autocrossed with these tires and they SUCK. They would just blow into each and every corner. But I did not have my alignment and/or suspension setup when I last Auto-X'd, so don't take my word for it. Would I buy again: DEFIANTLY NOT. They are cheap priced tires. Enough said.

Just got my Yokohama A520s! [4.26.00]

Ohh yeah baby! I just got these puppies installed this evening. Once I earn some more dough, I am going to move these 215s to the front, and put some 225s in the rear! Right now I can't wait to get my clutch broken in so I can remove some of that rubber and find out what these treads are made of!
