Default WTB: (1) Fikse FM5 17x9.5

It's in the title. Really just need the face, but would prefer an entire wheel. Must be the CNC'd "Technipolish" finish. Must be in Fbody or C5 front offset.

Thank you.

Bless your heart sir. I bid on it without thinking, but didn't think to check if the offset is correct. Dang.

I dont think that is a difference
That should depend on the inner and outer barrels?

That's what I'm thinking too. I've been in contact with Danny from Fikse (who is fantastic by the way) and I'll discuss with him tonight. Regardless, thank you very much for the heads up. You likely saved me a ton of money!

There are three different thickness centerpads.. so you've got a one in three chance that the ebay one will work. If you give me the serial number or give danny the serial # off one of your centers, we'll be able to tell you what thickness center you need. Hopefully the one on ebay will work, if not, either danny or myself can take care of you.

Thanks Thatcher. I've been in contact with Danny as well, but I'll email you guys the serial number as soon as this guy forwards it along.

Thanks again for your help, you and Danny have really helped me heaps throughout this process.

Just got word from Danny. They work.

Fikse is a great company, I encourage everyone to support companies like these that help out non-customers like they did for me.

Thatcher- as always, thanks for your support. I bought these wheels on your recommendation. You are an asset to the car community.

1badchicken- thanks for finding those centers for me. Come to NYC, and a beer is on me.
