EQUALS DARKNESS!!
These are my track wheels. 17x9 5zigen 5N01RC, 35mm offset w/ 255/40-17 Toyo RA1s. Pics aren't that clear cuz my camera is kinda crappy.
These wheels ended up looking a lot better than I thought they would. I like them so much that I don't want to take them off! Track season starts for me soon and I only drive my evo about 1-2 times per week anyway, so I'm just gonna leave them on. ;)

nice I just got my TB and was looking for black on black pics. Sweet Evo!
Mark, you need to remove those center caps... it contrasts with the wheel and says "5 Zigen Try Harder"

For some reason, I kinda like the way the center caps look. I don't really care what it says on them. haha..

Tinting the windows will be mean!
Looks sweet, Mark! I'm starting to like those 5Zigens. :) Where did you get everything, and how much did it set you back?

Yeah, all I need now is tinted windows and some blacked out headlights. Then my car will truly be "darkness".. haha.. as it sits right now, I have a hard time seeing my car in dark areas. I just see a black blob.
Dave, I got these wheels from edgeracing.com. I recommend the place. They quote you shipping right on the website. They have people answering the phones and kept me up to date w/ everything happening w/ my order. They do kinda gouge you on shipping though. But the price shipped includes hubcentric rings and a set of lug nuts. It was still by far the best deal I could find though the web.

Lets attention from the cops when you drive at night, but at day you look like a shadow of another car. :lol:

255's look like a tight fit. Did you have to roll the fenders? What camber are you runnin?

My fenders aren't rolled. 255s were a TIGHT fit in the back. The fronts seem to have enough clearance. I have no rubbing issues from just street driving so far. I'll see what happens at my next track day when I'm really pushing my car.
I'm running -2.5 deg of camber in the front and -1.4 deg in the rear.
Should call it nightmare hehe

First off, looks great Mark!
I'm running the same setup, black 5zigens even, 255/40/17 and I have no fender rubbing whatsoever with about the same drop, -2.9 front camber, -1.2 rear camber. The rear is about the absolute maximum you can go before you have to roll the fender but it does not rub.
The front tires rub a tad on the inside plastic liner at full lock but even my stock wheels/tires did that with lowering.

Thanks for all the comments guys! I didn't realize how crappy my camera was until I tried taking pictures of my car w/ these new wheels. The black on black is really hard to get good pictures of! I plan on getting a better camera soon, so hopefully I'll have some better pictures in the near future.

With the power your Evo puts down, plus the LSD, I was thinking you should go with "ICRPONU". :lol:

Naw, be a uber geek and get the plate: "#000000"
haha.
I saw a yellow S4 once with the plate: "#FFFF00". I wasn't sure if he was a geek for having a plate that said that or I was a bigger geek for knowing wtf that plate meant. :oops:

Black on black, really not bad :)
I'm suprise how well the black in the fn01rc matches the color of the Evo, that's one super slick car right there!
Nice Zeal coilover too :) :thumbsup:

Bring it to the next meet, I'm sure Wilson can take some nice photos with his DSLR. :)
