Are 5 Zigen wheels any good?
Looking to get new wheels and not sure what to get.
Thought about 5 Zigen's Pro Racer GN+
Anyone have any thoughts on those? Are they good, not worth it or decent?
And also Advan's RS, TS or TCII and G-Games 77W are a possibility...
Advan's worth the price?

They're decent, not all that light - it's a pretty old wheel in terms of design and fabrication. They're a solid wheel, I've just never had good luck with the finish on 5Zigen wheels.
What size are you looking to run? Knowing that will open up a few options.

listen to sybir he's the wheel man 
I would run advans if I had to choose from the two. They just look more appealing to me and are quality wheels. But i've owned 5 sets of rotas and of set of volks. So I don't know if my opinion counts ahaha!

I have thought about Rota's but I told myself if I ever got an sti I would go all out. Well I would like to stick with 17's. If you could help me out Sybir I would appreciate it. I want whatever wheels I get to be flush with the fenders and wide. Thought about going 17x9 or 17x9.5 with a 43 or 45 offset? Any ideas?

18x10 for all outness in bright chrome!!
All seriousness rg2 17x9.5 +35 would look super sexy in bright chrome or white. Favorite advan. Besides the super advans, but not to many people like those...also depends on suspension set up if your looking at running a wider wheel.

What suspension setup are you running? Going for a "flush" look means compromising other areas like travel, optimal camber, etc, and generally means fender work. Do you want to run a meaty tire, or are you just trying to get "the look"?

Well right now its all stock, but this month I will go with perrin 22 or 25mm sway bars, tanabe or tein springs. I would rather not do any kinda of fender work, but I would like to have a wide meaty tire but also have the look... So thats where im kinda lost. Not sure what size or offset to go.
