Does anyone know where I can get these wheels?

I am having difficulties finding a place that carries these specific wheels: 5Zigen Sports Engine SC3000 (GLOSS BLACK) in 18 x 7.5, 5/114.3 with a 43mm offset. The gloss black variants are only available in the U.S, which makes it harder to find for sale online. Does anyone know of a place that would carry these?



I have a black TSX currently rolling on stock alloys. These wheels would drastically improve my cars image.

That`s the site where I took the image from. Those wheels are only available in 19`s. Thanks for the consideration though.

well, where did you find information that they exist in 18 x 7.5, 5/114.3 with a 43mm offset?

It only makes sense since they are available with those wheel specs in hyper silver and hyper black. The manufacturer wouldnt relegate a specific color to only one size.

Those are RonJons, wheels made specifically for only certain types of vehicles, so naturally the selection of size, color, etc etc, will be minimized. 5Zigens are commercial wheels, available for just about any car out there, so it wouldnt make sense for them to relegate a specific wheel to only one size in one color.

Many wheel companies make certain finishes available in certain sizes only. Whether they are mainstreamed or not. Ron Jon isn't a good comparison because Ron Jon is a small wheel maker and naturally only have certain sizes in certain styles etc.... because of their size and production costs. If it's not on the 5zigen web page in the right size then it probably doesn't exist....

Sorry to burst your bubble dude, but the glossy black finish is ONLY available in 19" sizes... and unfortunately, none of them will fit the TSX (unless you don't mind having your wheels stick out past the fender). As for a company only making a finish available in certain sizes... it happens frequently when they're doing a limited release. In this wheel's case, it looks like 5Zigen is only concentrating on the RWD market based on the wheel widths that are available for the glossy black finish wheels.

I needed something concrete to go on, your replies were more or less subjective. You didnt need to put me on blast.

They look really good IMO... but still a word of caution to the OP --- you'll stick out past the fender a little bit, and probably have to run more negative camber in the rear so that they tuck in. With that said, you also have to weigh the cons of going to 19's vs. sticking w/ 18's. Good luck w/ whatever you choose mang...
