never seen this before. I'm actually planning on getting FM/5s, but these struck me too, this lip especially.
You guys/gals like?

I like verything except the center. If you have the cash, I would stick with the FM5's.

THEY look good, but you get what you pay for...I dont really trust the solid integrity of the brand. Fikse or these wheels should be a no brainer. Besides the lips is not very attractive, compare it to a Fiske lip and you'll see what I'm talkin bout.

Not bad, not too sure about the centers around the lugs . . . looks like a universal fit wheel . . .

I saw that same wheel in a Super Street or Import Tuner mag don't remember which one. I was thinking about those for my Stang but the centers kind of turned me away.

I agree with the center of it being a turn off. Other than that it isn't too bad for the money.

I don't like the center too much either but I think they would look pretty good on a black Z28.

they do have sizes for f-bodies. i was just curious to see what you guys would say 'bout em. I'm definately going Fikse, but i do like the lip and the spokes on this rim, while and FM5s have a stepped lip, which is still pretty nice. I don't care for the center of it either, curious to see how it would look on a car.
