Default Hard Decision......

Ok, really this is the last time. LOL.

Right now I have 17x9.5 Fikse's all around. I have always LOVED the Billet Specialties and still want to get me a set.

I really want 11's in the rear and can get the Fikse's widened to 11's but it will cost me around 1200 to do it. Now, I can do this or sell the Fikse's and get some Billet Specialties in a 17x11 and 17x7 and end up saving money.

There is a pic of my car with the Fikse's in the sig. And there is a guy on here with the same car but with Billets.

What do you guys think, which wheel looks better?

Sounds like you should go with the Billet Specialties.

1. You want 11's in the back.
2. You want 7's in the front, (I'm guessing to save weight).
3. If you sell your Fikse's and purchase some Billet Specialties - you might pocket some money
4. You "LOVE" the Billet Specialties.
5. It'll cost close to 1200 bux jus' to widen your Fikse's.

why not the 17x9.5 Billet Specialties up front? Do they have any fitment issue? I was considering them for my car.

I would just get keep the Fiske's. These new Billet Specialties will be on alot of cars before you know it. Yet the Fiske's still have that class and not that many people have them. Both wheels are gorgeous but i just love the FM-5s

^x2. Fiske's look better also IMO. I've already seen a couple cars with Billets in my area. I'm keeping mine stock for a while, that seems to be getting more rare
