Default Mounted the Fikse FM5s today

Sorry for the crappy photos, they're from my cell phone when I stopped at Subway.

The tires still have the stickers on them, kind of wished I took them off before I put the wheels on. Oh well, they'll come off eventually on their own.

I also have an SLP SS grill that I've been meaning to put on just haven't got around to it yet.

They're eventually getting replaced, they're SLP's that came on the car when I bought it. I'm still debating if I want to go with an OEM CME (not 6LE's) or another exhaust setup when I do full exhaust.

IMO best looking wheel for 4th gen fboats. I'd probably do 18's though, 17's tires look too swollen.

I would love to have 18" FM5's. I also like the Fikse that are on the Dick Harrell cars...

Did you have to BFH anything or roll the quarters to make them fit? Looks great.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I've gone through many wheels over the course of the 3 F-Bodies I've owned but these are by far my favorite.

Nope, I didn't do anything at all except put them on. I did some driving over pretty bumpy roads today and didn't hear/feel them rub once.

I have around $2600 in the wheels and tires combined. I got a good deal on the wheels since they were used but had to pay full pop on the tires.

Thanks Ben, I miss that Z28. I've been through it so many times I used to know that car inside and out. It's good to know it's still around and being well cared for.
