NC Wheels - Can you identify?

Guys,

Can anyone tell me what wheels these are? Love them and would consider buying the same. I like these better than the Enkeis. That colour would look great on my black LE, me thinks.

Ta!

Why don't you be more specific next time

Pur157, I think you are right. I think these are 18 inchers, but can you tell what offsets they are?

Cheers

If you want a similar looking wheel you can go,

Lenso GTR

Size1770 4H 5H PCD 100-114.3 ET+25 +38 +42 COLOR HBL HSM HBM

Lenso GT05

Size1880 5H PCD 114.3-120 ET+35 +45 COLOUR HBM HSM

Size1985 5H PCD 114.3 ET+45 COLOUR HBM

Size2085 5H PCD 114.3 ET+45 COLOR HBM

Looks very similar, and should cost half as much as 5Zigen's. The 5Zigen's should be lighter though.

Thanks guys. Now where do you buy and who are the distributors in Aust/Perth?

I found the Aust website for 5zigen, but not the others.

Would it be cheaper from the US?

Haha... I'll admit that I'm extra receptive to these rims because they are one of few nice rims that come in less than 17\"... as MX5 drivers we should all understand that plight... :lol:

nPower sells them for about $1600 a set... and thats 17x8

If you can find a price per rim for the 5zigens... add on about $400 and thats the price you can get them by importing them yourself

All I can find so far are $250USDish/rim in 17\" sizes
and 18\" $340USDish/rim... :shock:

So that makes... $1400 USD a set at the least?

Lotsa (Sydney) wheel shops retail lenso nowadays... Sorry but I don't know about perth
The Lensos will definitely be cheaper but only abit heavier

Those wheels are similar to Rays Gramslight 57F,I would think you would be needing 5x114.3 offset +35-+45,or I have a set of Rx8 wheels painted in Gunmetal you could try.
