Thumbs down Bad luck with wheels

Well it took me all winter to decide on a set of rims, but I eventually went with 5zigen MK5 in hyperblack, from BC Auto (canada).

I didn't receive them in over 2 weeks so I call them and they said they had been damaged during shipping . And it was the last set of those they had.

So now I have to pick out another set. I can get most other 5zigen wheels I think. I like the FN01R's and Fighter's the most I think.
What do you guys think? (eternal blue 01 coupe)

I also really like the buddy club p1 racing, they have those on their website too, but I think they're super expensive.

Give me your opinions!!

I was looking at these rims too. Personally they're not my style but I've kept them as an optional choice of rims if I can't get what I'm really after just cuz they are good.

...and I'm the worst person to ask about the gunmetal/hyperblack rims because altho everyone loves them I never thought they looked great. I'd sooner prefer to see bronze/gold instead of gunmetal for the simple reason that gunmetal/hyperblack rims look like the car has winter tires on. Esp in Canada, (I can understand why the Calif owners love them, they don't see black rims as much as I do here in the winter on old beater cars... they look like donuts for godsakes).

But it is your look and I'm not gonna knock it. Objectively, I'd recommend the 5Zigen Super Six or (from your choices) the FN01R as your next bet. Do a Member Rides search you'll find a few Civics with them. I can never find pics of rims I'm interested in on here. I guess I'm just different.

Yeah I know what you mean about looking like the winter steelies, nut hyper black is not as dark as gunmetal, and its shiny so its kinda cool.
