Haha, you've got me man. I believe the guy at Edge Racing that I talked to pronounced it "five-zigen" with a hard G. But I'm really not sure:thinking:

I appreciate all of the comments/compliments guys.

I'm extremely happy with the way they turned out. I was kind of worried that I was going to regret my choice on the color once I saw it on the car, but I certainly like it. As my Dad put it, it looks like it's all business. :)

I went with 17s over 18s for a few different reasons. First and foremost, from a performance standpoint, 17s weigh less. From a purely visual standpoint, I do think that 18s look better, but only when the car has good drop on it and generally when the car has a lip and sideskirts. Well, I plan on doing prodrive springs when the time comes and they only offer a small drop (but great performance), and I have a long list of things I'll do before a lip. Lastly, just from a comfort standpoint. I live in the middle of Atlanta. I don't want my fillings rattling out :)

Werd. I'm glad you didn't take it as me bashing. The reason I had gotten 18's was because the suby was more of a DD than a race car if you know what i Mean...they were 18' Rota Tarmac III and the car going to to have sti front side and rear..and a drop...never got to even mount the wheels before the motor went poop..

But still looks good! keep updating you car! I want to see more!
