I am currently searching for the wheels for my MY05 whitle ap2. After few days research, I found that both 5zigen_FN01R-C_bronze and ADVAN RGII Gold are are my type. But the price are so significantly different. I am not the guys like tracking all the year, Most of time for daily driving. So besides the outlooking of both wheels is there any other quality different?

I also heard that the 5 Zigen is easy to be crashed. Advan is made by hard material. However, I have never heard anyone who installed the 5 Zigen and the wheel became to crap after couple years use. So is there any1 can give me some tips or share the experience of using both wheels.

Also the another big different is the size. 5 zigen didn' make the same size for S2000. so for the 17 inch wheels. 5 zigen only got 7.5 for the front and 8 for the rear. they didn't make 8.5 for the rear. But Advan has the same size as s2000 does. can we say the the wider size for the rear wheel contains more safety?

 

here is the pic for advan and 5 zigen:

Advan FTW.

 

I would go with the Advans because it looks sexier between those two you've mentioned. However, I've crashed on a set of 5zigens and the wheels did hold up but I had the GN+. The wheels did not break at all and it still held air. The GN+ is a 6 spoke like the advans so you might like the look and the pricing. check it out...

 

My Work Meister S1's would look better on your GPW!

The pic in the bottom right of your signature is the best use of a 4 point harness ever.

 

go with the advans, but if money is an issue id go with the FN01R-C's

 

GN+ is also sexy, but the price for a whole set of GN+ is almost the same as the ADVAN, ( I think GN+ is only 200-300 hundred bucks less than ADVAN)

However, I love brozen color on GN+ rather than the gold on ADVAN..

 

For sure, I'd install one for my passenger seat just for that!
