Im in search, and damn picky. Help?
Im looking for wheels like the HP evo, Fikse FM/10's or Mach V, Forgeline LS Wheels. Anything with that style is what I am looking for. Doesnt seem to hard to find right cuz I just named a bunch of em off?Well, Im looking for 17's...Cheaper on the pocket book and easier to find radials for(that I dont hve to pay 300+ per wheel). I like the idea of keeping the rotating mass the same as well. I want a gun metal color for my silver WS6. The problem I am finding is they arent near wide enough. The fronts I would like to keep stock (9.5) but would like something wider in the rear. If I cant get wider in the rear, not a huge deal if I jsut get some better rubber. Any ideas for where I can get a set of wheels? If there are some other designs (5 spoke or more of those styles) that are in a gunmetal, let me know as well. Sorry for the long drawn out paragraph, just getting picky!

In regards to getting wheels "cheap," it sort've goes like this:
-You can have the style you want...
-You can have the size you want...
-You can have the finish you want...
....but you can't have all three. Pick two.
I found these wheels from Konig:

Might wanna e-mail the seller to see if they make the right bolt spacing for F-bodies. Good luck.

nice looking wheel. Im not really looking cheap, I want a nice looking wheel, but im not a huge fan of monster wheels for my setup. I love the looks of 18's, but tires are outrages for that size, I will look into thse wheels.
Any more suggestions?

The TT's were originally too tho(Bullet GT's or w/e they were called), and look how those came around to the f-body world.

This one's from a company called Aza, and it's the "Z-2" model. Complete wheel and tire package deal from Wheelmax. Here you go:

I know they have been around for a long time. Im a car nut like no other and have mostly been around old cars. My dad has them and I hit every car show around, including Car Craft and Back to the 50;s in Minn. I know they are from way back, but I was just stating they were on mustands, so nothing wrong if i would have went with those other wheels. Just stating.

The word Fikse & cheap dont play well with each other. But they also arent everywhere you look like the evo's are now. Trust me I had a set, that was the main reason I got rid of them. Just go ahead & splurge a lil bit & get you some Fikse, you want regret it. I look at mine daily.
