Re: 5Zigen's or Rotas, photoshop?
17x9 +30 will stick out way too much, i would suggest you stick somewhere between +35 and +32 depending on what tire your going to run on the wheel.

Re: 5Zigen's or Rotas, photoshop?
im going to go with a 255/40 but i am going to roll the fenders to fit since i have a 2ga i will have a fitment problem with a +35 so i will need at least a 3mm spacer if not a 5mm spacer.

Re: 5Zigen's or Rotas, photoshop?
I think I'd always choose the one that's not Rota.

Re: 5Zigen's or Rotas, photoshop?
Sam already proved bronze looks good on white. I would probably stay with a lighter color than black on your white if it were me. I also like the 5Zigens over the Rota spokes.

Re: 5Zigen's or Rotas, photoshop?
As far as i know the only differences are the knucles in the rear won't clear a +35 on an awd im not sure if the fwd are the same or not. The fronts should be the same iirc.

Re: 5Zigen's or Rotas, photoshop?
I have always been a fan of the 5zigen FN01R-C's, but I have never had any problems with Rota in the past. I had rota's on my s2000 and loved them. If I could afford 5zigen's, I would get those.

Re: 5Zigen's or Rotas, photoshop?
I personally have the matte black fno1r-c on the 2gb. 17x8 35mm offset with BFG 255-40-17. This size tire is the upper limit for a 8 inch wide wheel. Rear fenders are rolled. The front tires stick out about half an inch past the fender. The rear is about perfect. Personally, a 32 or 33 mm offset with a 8.5 inch wide wheel would be perfect for a 2gb application.
