They dont look too bad imo, just dont seem to have any dish to them. I like a lip in the rear, but that doesnt mean everyone does. Somewhat reminds me of the 2000 Cobra R's.

My buddy has them on his Evo and they look pretty good. The spokes are thin, I hope you have some big pretty brakes behind them!

That is a kick ass wheel and they are light as can be! I say get them, dare to be different! The 17X10 version has a nice deep center to it too. i was looking into these as a possible track wheel for autocross, but I got too good of a deal on a set of '03 anniversary wheels. I'm going to run them for a while and then revisit these and other like them down the road. The 5zigen's are a bit pricey, but they are light and come in 17x8, 17x9, and 17x10 which is a huge plus.

i'm not against "off the beaten path", just look at the wheels i just got. it's just that those are not my style, but if you like them, then by all means go for it. they would certainly be out of my budget right now. definately associated with the "tuner" crowd though ...

5zigen wheels brings you the popular FN01RC. This wheel is very common and seen on lots of subaru WRX STIs, Austin Minis and S2000's. If you bought a set of FN01RC's please leave a review and let us know how you found them.

i think they will look nice. but like it was said before, you'll need a nice brake setup behind them, and a nice lip for the back. btw what color is your stang?

im going to paint it bullitt green, right now its deep forest green...im doing my hood, roof spoiler and trunk in black...but paint is a long time off, i got to get my rear suspension put on after i find some wheels so my car will be mobile, then the engine, tranny and roll cage goes in....im definitely getting some brakes, i hate the tiny factory ones...whats the good of having a fast car that can take corners if you cant stop?...
