Rota Grid or 5Zigen ProRacer GN+ ???

[SiR_Sandro]

Just wanted to get some oponions on which of these two you guys prefer, and for what reason. I know the Grids only come in 15", so that kinda sucks; I was aiming for a 16" wheel. I'd be either getting the 15" Grids in Gunmetal /w polished lip, or the 16" ProRacers in matt bronze.

BTW, I have an 03 White EP, with GFX kit. It's not lowered and I don't intend on lowering it either, way too much snow and pot-holes in my area :(

Thanks.

Personally, i think those Rota Grids are completely disgusting! :p

Go with the 5zigens in 16's fo sho, mein! ;)

I've got 16" Rota Grids. A few other users here do too. Check out http://www.machiii.net for specs.

I would go for the 5zigen, I think it looks much more nicer than the rota, IMAO

JapanExpress,

You're absolutlely right! It's strange that the Rota site only shows them in 15" :p . Here's a better pic of them:

Definitely the Zigens... not even close in my opinion!!!:D

5zigen! have you found the gn+ anywhere yet?

[SiR_Sandro]

There's a place in my area that can get them for sure. But the guy told me his supplier could only get them in 17", and quoted me $2000 CAD (~1,507.56 USD) :'(

I'm trying to see if another local shop can get them in 16" . I guess they're of a different caliber than the Rotas.

[SiR_Sandro]

By the way, I can get the 15" Grids for $737.23 CAD (~$555.67 USD)... killer price no?

[JapanExpress]

Thats the good thing about the Rotas, $500USD shipped. :D

ouch! for that price you might as well go for the work emotion cr's, claim jdm braggin' rights and call it a day! ;)

I say 5Zigen just because it's not Rota. :tongue:

[Civicvtec1ps]

Go with 5zigen.

Rims are rims. As long you like em and it looks nice, it's good. You don't have to care how other thinks about it. I got Rota Grid and my friends hate it, heheheh, but I like em. They're cheap, so that leaves me EXTRA money to buy something else. I dunno how heavy the 5zigens are, but Rotas are light. Gain back a few horsepower by going light. Lets knock on wood now. If your rims get stolen, at least it was cheap. If you plan to claim insurance for your stolen rims, you're better off claiming stock rims. They cost around 1k at the dealer, just rims, excluding tires. And the tires cost 150 each around.

... pricey, but waaaay nicer than either the Rota or 5Zigen IMO. Guess I'll have to crack the piggy-bank :D

Here's what it looks like on a white EP:
