Any of you guys that have had the intestinal fortutide to read my bitchin' about my havin' been flim-flammed by the wheel salesman are aware that, despite my better judgement, I allowed myself to be talked into a set of 5Zigen Fn01r-c wheels for my own reason to be on this site.
The max positive offsets that they offered were only +45 n' I allowed the salesman to override my concern about the +20 difference.
So, I've tried 'em with the stock 'Stone 050s, n' I've recently tried 'em with my Dunlop WinterSport M3s. With stock springin' n' a 200 lb. warm body aboard, they hit the wheelwell rim alot. As in alot.
I'm gonna be sellin' these wheels, but the only folks that should consider 'em r' those that've put much stiffer springs aft. That's the only way that you're gonna be able to wear these wheels n' not ride aroun' with your 'nads tucked up under your throat waitin' for that awful sound that only means that your car n' rubber r' bein' destroyed.
So, that said: I will soon be sellin' a set of 5Zigen Fn01r-c wheels for Stewie. Bronze finish, some lip-chip from callin' my corners a wee bit too close but absolutely true (I'm currently runnin' 'em n' have had them to, well, they're true n' round)
The fronts are 17"x7s n' the rears are 17x8s.
I'm askin' $300 for the set if anyone's Stewie's sprung as I suggest n' interested.
Be well.
