The death of the 5Zigen FN01R-C...

Sad e-mail I got today concerning my quest for ordering some 17x10 FN01R-C's;

Quote:

Hi,

Unfortunately, FN01R-C will be discontinued due to bankrupt of the factory we out source the production.
They are not available anymore.

Best regards,

Tsuyoshi Inoue, Sales Manager
5ZIGEN USA, INC.

Now I have to start my wheel search all over!

Bankruptcy of 5zigen causing them to discontinue the FN01R-C!? WHAT? Surprising because the FN01R-C is always in demand due to popularity.

Bankruptcy of the FACTORY that makes the FN01R-C, not 5Zigen itself.

I'm sure that there are vendors that still have the wheel available. I'd keep searching just in case.

This is a good inexpensive wheel. Hopefully they move the mold to another foundry.
