My Turn asking opinions...
Sunday, March 27, 2005 6:31 AM
Okay guys and gals, I'm torn. I have been thinking about a very slight update on the car and can't decide what to do. 5Zigen came out with a new finish on their FN01R-C wheels. Black face with a polished lip. I was thinking maybe getting these wheels and then changing my graphic to add a silver outline. Both items would help brighten the car up and catch the eye better at a show. My dillemma is this... I absolutely love my current wheels. It took a lot for me to get them and I have only seen them on one other car (in bronze) in the past 2 years. The 5Zigens are a little more popular. Hell, one of my own friends and team members, Jack Brown, has them on his car. He just doesn't have the black face. So, you see, I am torn. I can leave the car as is, which is a bit more rugged and street looking. Or I can switch to a look that will make it "pop" more under the lights. Even if I went with the 5Zigens, i'm not sure I could get myself to sell my current wheels. They are an the rare side. Maybe they'd go on the 95... lol. Anyway, here is a pic of my car as it sits now and then a pic of the 5Zigens...

your car's tight, but if you don't keep it changing, even a lil bit throughout the years... its gonna get old (look at Mull's, for example..)

i like the new ones cuz they're not much different looking, but they have the lip. and the silver on the stripe would tie it together pretty well...

and since u show it a lot, it would be cool to make it "pop" at the shows..

i say go for it, but keep the current rims. (or give em to me)

Get the new weels.

I love simplicity and you would not be introducing a new colour to your sheme.

The silver lip would go nice with the rotors and headlights and the outlines your
thinking of doing. It'd even catch the z24 logo.

I saw go with the 5zigens. I really like the odd number of spokes better. I wouldn't do this, but other show people have. Have you thought of just redoing 1 side? Add the silver under the same sheme, and swap just the rims on that side. That way it kinda looks like two cars. Just face out the side you want to show off depending on the show.

i like how the rims on now match the car, whereas if you put on those new rims you are introducing a new color to the exterior......stick with what you already have
