An issue that you should think about also is tire options and price. The Fikses look good in 17's so you can go that route and save money on tires because they're cheaper in that size. 18" Fikses look good too. CCW's on the other hand only look good in 18's and also 19's. Going with the CCWs will cause you to go with more expensive tires. Just keep those things in mind.

Yeah but 315/30/18s are mean as hell
Gotta pay to play, and when your shelling out big bucks like that you might as well....BTW I am waiting for BFG to release their damn 315/30/18 BFG KDW2 since Feb 1, and then May 1, and then June 1....

I'm guessing they'll be running around $250 each which isn't bad at all...lot better tham PS2s which I was extremely close to getting

I just got my 19X10/19X11 CCW SP500's in. Great wheels. You must factor in future tire replacement.

Yeah I agree 19" tires start getting real expensive fast

Link to my new Michelin 295's for sale in 19"
https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/522883-f-s-michelin-pilot-tires-ps2-295-30zr19-brand-new.html

BTW here is a pic of my car with Fikse Profil 10's 11" wide all the way around.





They were real sweet wheels for sure. But a high maintenance to keep clean!

If you are looking at Fikse rims I have a set for sale, 17 X 9.5 all the way around. $1950 OBO.

It could save you about $1,000 over buying new ones.

Good Luck Either Way.

"But a high maintenance to keep clean!"

That's why I like the 5 spoke. Still have to maintain them once a week minimum but no crevices like the 10 spoke.
