Which Fikse wheel would look the best on a GTO? Pics of wheels inside. I'm thinking about purchasing Fikse wheels with the same measurements as my factory 18" rims (just to keep things simple). They're going to be used for daily driving throughout the year except for the winter time when I'll use the factory 18's with winter tires. I like Fikse rims, because they look good, they're strong, and they're lightweight. I could probably save as much as 10 lbs. per wheel by going from the factory 18's to Fikse 18's. I'm just torn as to what style and finish I should choose. My exterior color is quicksilver and, again, these wheels will be used for daily driving. My choice of finishes are technipolish (standard finish), race satin, speedsilver, race black, and full polish. Here are the styles:
I'm leaning towards the 18" Fikse Mags in race satin or the 18" Fikse Profil 5 in race black. What style and finish would you recommend for me? What syle and finish would you get for your GTO? Thanks in advance for the opinions.

IMO any of them except the ARO and the Profil 13.
On silver Id go with a full polish or a black/polish lip. The other colors may look too close to the car color and wont mix well.
FWIW the Mag wont look too bad but its pretty close to the stock GTO wheel if I remember right.

A buddy of mine had some badass BBK mesh styles on his red '04 and then his blue '05, it looked killer. 
The FM10's are almost identical.
I usually don't like mesh rims on anything except BMW's, but they looked perfect on his goats.

That's why I like the Mag. And a lot of the Holden wheel styles in Australia for the Monaro have big spokes.

Damon Ill see you in a bit but I have to go with the Mag but wouldnt mind the FM/10. I always loved those wheels and they would really look good on your GTO.

I have the 17" Mags.
If you are going with 18" wheels, the Classic line is IMHO out, since the center section does not change in diameter, they just change the step of the hoop.
I say the Profil 10's - although the price is a bit to get over . . . .

Why limit yourself to only Fikse wheels? I saw a bright blue GTO in town with some 5 spoke HRE wheels. The wheels alone made the car. If you insist on Fikse wheels I would also say FM10.
