5Zigen FN01r-c:
weight: 16.0 lbs
price: $1200 (everything included)
Enkei RS-5:
weight: 19.8 lbs
price: $800 (everything included)
I think I like the way the enkei's look more, because the spokes go all the way to the lip, and it doesn't have that huge lip, gives the illusion that they are bigger than they are, plus I love that thin 5 spoke look. But, the 5Zigen's are light weight, 3.8 lbs less per wheel! Plus, they look pretty good too..But they also cost a lot more....bah, I just can't make a decision!
If you have your own suggestion, post it up!

I am usually the 100% GO kind of guy, but in this case I voted the Enkeis, reason?
I agree with you they would look best than the 5Zigens.
So, if you are set to choose between these 2 only, my advice would be to go for the ones that look best. If you are going to be really sensitive to the matter of weight, (let's face it, 3.8 lbs per wheel is 15,2 lbs in the overall weight, and remember unsprung weight perceived effect is like times 4, so you would be driving your car AS IF it was 60 lbs heavier...) then my advice would be to go for other rims, none of this 2.
So the choice is, either the Enkeis (they are a little heavier, but much cheaper), or a truly light weight rims, like the Ultraleggeras or something like that.
And if it helps you a little, we all (here) are very purists on everything, but the real thing is on 95% of the times you will be driving your car, you won't even notice the difference... so save money for other mods and choose what your eyes like best.

I vote 5Zigen FN01r-c because they look better and are lighter, either will look good though so its up to you how much you want a little better look (which is personal) and some extra weight gone out of the car.
