Anyone know the weights of 17" 5Zigen FN01RCs and Ray's G-Games 77Wolf?
The title says it all: does anybody know the weight of 5Zigen FN01RCs in 17x7.5?
Also, does anyone know the weight of Ray's G-Games 77Wolf, one-piece 17x7.5 (umm I know that's not the name but what I meant are the 5-spoke ones
)
Thanks!

I've seen the FN01RCs claimed at 15 lbs a wheel(!) which is actually kinda TOO light... for a 17" wheel, you wonder how long they would stay round after a few encounters with a speed bump...

Ray's G-Games 77Wolf in 17x7 16.5lbs (couldn't find 17x7.5)

IMO I would prefer the gram-lights for that style, but these are still nice

My bad, I was reading the weight for the 16" wheels. Interestingly, FastWRX says that they are MUCH heavier than claimed:

The magic of metallurgy is practiced by 5Zigen of Japan, to cast a lightweight and strong wheel that doesn't cost a fortune. The FN01R-C is light, at about 18 pounds for 17" and 21 pounds for 18". It's available in 17" x 8" and 18" x 8.5".

If you get them, put them on a scale and weigh them before you install -- I want to know who is right, 5Zigen's web site or FastWRX. A 2-pound difference demands an explanation.

To be honest, it may be a while. I'm still in the research and save up $$ stage
I wonder if there are any here on the boards who are running 17" 5Zigen FN01RC's?
