They look like Fikse FM/5's, it is hard to tell if they have a stepped lip or not, but I'm pretty sure they are.

Im pretty sure those arent fm5s. I dont think they have a stepped lip, but its hard to tell bc of the glare. There was a thread started about these a little while ago, but I cant recall what wheels they were. They did cost as much as fikse's tho IIRC.

They are either Fikse's, AR Rebels, or I have no clue. The center caps look like Fikse centers, definitely not like the rebels.

The thread I saw had wheels exactly like that, but they werent fikse or AR. They do look alot like the fm5s though, even the center cap like you said. but they arent if there waht I think they are. Also, they are missing the rivets on each side of the spoke for them to be the ar rebels. It was a less known brand, but after looking them up. They were still expensive. Hopefully someone chimes in with the answer.

Those are Sport Max Racing 962 wheels in the gun metal finish I assume...hard to say due to the sun bleaching of the center caps. If they aren't they are definitely a close match.

I saw that thread too with pics of that exact car. They were a custom order wheel, and were a pretty good chunk of change. If i can only find the thread!

I saw that thread too, but that wasn't the one. His center caps were black. I saved one pick of it too, just cause i really liked the wheels.

You are all incorrect.

Those wheels are custom MAR wheels. A buddy of mine Jason, designed and had the wheels built. That was his car, he sold it for future plans. The design is similar to FM5's but they come with the straight lip in lieu of the Fikse stepped hoop.

As of right now, yes I believe they are the only set in existance. The MAR website is different now, and under construction.

Hey, thanks for all the help guys...no wonder nobody knew what they were if they're the only ones that exist.

Too bad...I'm sure lots of people would be all over these...
