Default Hugger Orange SS/FM5s/2oTL on Spring Cypress

It looked to be Hugger orange but it was dark out so maybe it was red. Definitely had Fikse Fm5's and two on the left. Was it anyone on here? I dont see super clean 4th Gens like that anymore!

I really need to detail this car, until recently it sat for awhile, blew the T56 and also smoked a spec stage III clutch.

Are your FM5s 17's?

I didn't even realize it was a hardtop, even better. Very nice car!

If that means that the FM5's are going up for sale, PM me. I would be interested in two weeks, and local.

Thank you and yes the FM5s are 17s.

Those are actually 18s. The rear is a real tight fit, but appears to work with no interference once the car is let off the jack. I recently rolled the right rear fender and have installed drag bags, should be able to keep it from eating tires, hope so anyways.

I am considering selling the FM5s off the 99, but I love them so much, so I am not a 100% at the moment.

Fair enough. My wife knows the deal, when I come across a set of FM5's and I've got the money that I can get them now, since she got her SS this past spring. Winter bonus is just around the corner

The Fikse's look 100x better than the classics. About the most perfect wheel on a HOSS. I still miss my old HOSS.
