RedHondaSi RedHondaSi Post Master Jr Registered: 10/30/99 Posts: 1982 Loc: USA	I got the silver 5zigen FN01R-C (new version) 18x7.5 +43. I thought about the 18 x 8.5 but didn't want to chance any rubbing. My calipers need a re-paint so I have to wait for time to do it. I don't plan on lowering it at all. I drive it in the winter and don't wanna be a snow plow. I am gonna put my stock rims with the winter tires on a shelf until they are needed again. 225/40-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R. Weight is 42.8 lbs for the Wheel and tire combo. I weighed with me on the scale, and then again holding the wheel. I saved 2.6 lbs per corner with the stock rim and LM-25 winter tires. It cost $1,793.75 shipped from edgeracing.com

I'm not sure what they go for at the moment, but I'm more or less selling brand new rims for between 800-1000 depending on shipping. Look in the for sale topic at the top of the page for the pics/info. And on topic, nice choice on wheels. I almost went with those before choosing the Pro Racers instead. _________________________ 2006 Hab Si

I came across these in my search back in April. The earlier ones cost less, but the complaints about those were the sticker came off of the rim, now it is engraved in the spoke.
