Default Should I get these wheels?

there for a eg hatch, 16s though





they are cheap which is decent. my concern though is the first pic says its flat black but it looks like its just dark like a light gun metal or something. they in no way in this pic look black. I was wondering if someone here had the darker first pic wheels on a car so i could take a look. I wanted to get these 5zigens, to



but my friend told me they were real expensive. does anyone have a price on them?

thanks they are going on a red 92 cx hatch

well if you're getting the real deal, SSR Type-C (Competition), yes they will be expensive. If you get a knock off, they should be pretty cheap (both price and quality).

Well, the bronze wheels that you showed aren't out yet until the end of the month. But if you want a good price on them, the place that you got the pic from should be able to give you a good deal on them. Though I don't think that it'll be as cheap as the 140/wheel that you've showed in the first pic.

Well, at least the SSR knockoffs are made by 5Zigen. The model is the RX-6.

As for the second wheel you posted, that's the 5Zigen Pro Racer GN+. It's not actually out yet.

Yeah the rx-6 isnt listed on the 5zigen site. i found them on discount tire. they must be a wheel that is made for them. does anyone have this wheel on their car that has some pics? i might just have to call discount tire to see what they mean by "flat black", cause according to their site they are supposed to be flat black but dont look like it.

When I look at Discount's site I see "Hyper Black" which is essentially gunmetal but with a more sort of polished finish to it.
