FM5's or FM10's?
 

title says it all

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

My vote is for the 5 spokes classic style. You may want to check out the Lingenfelter site to see the modified version of that where the 5 spokes are "split". I can not remember the model number and they aren't exclusively Lingenfelter available. That's just the only place I've seen them. I like your other choice but they are a lot more work/attention to keep good looking with all the "spokes".

I like the FM10s a lil more, but both are sweet.

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

yeah i am leaning towards the FM5's b/c i have never seen a red camaro w/ FM10's so i have no clue what they look like on there

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

Both wheels are awesome, you need to chose the look that is right for you. The FM5's are clean and simple five spoke design, where the FM10's are stylish. I like them both.

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

I like the FM10's better

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

i am kinda torn b/c i love the look of GODSPEEDS old car w/ the FM'5's but never seen a pic of FM10's on a Camaro

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

Try to find a pic of MTI's first LS1. It was a red Z28 with FM10s. It was bad ass...hooked me on them for about 2 years until i could get mine.

I too love the look of Fikse rims; however, I lack the pocketbook to own a pair. So after some looking, it appears that Boyd Coddington has adopted some styles that are VERY similar to the FM10 and FM5 wheels

Boyd Coddington "Tuned" wheel:

Fikse FM10 wheel:

Boyd Coddington "Timeless 2" wheel:

Fikse FM5 wheel:

You can defintely see the resemblence in the wheels. But the thing is that you can get those "Tuned" wheels for about $1200 shipped to your door, and the Timeless 2s for about $1450. Both of which are a far cry from over $3000 you'll pay for the Fikse. While I know typically you get what you pay for, I seriously doubt you get $1500 more bucks worth of wheel outta the Fikse. Don't get me wrong, if I had the money I'd still get the Fikse, but I don't so I'm gettin the Boyd wheels.

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

I would do FM10's on a Camaro and FM5's on a TA. The red MTI Camaro with FM10's is in the September 1998 issue of Hot Rod Magazine if you can get your hands on that, but I have also seen that car in most of MTI's old ads. Good luck on your decision.

I just had to give McTullis mad props on such a fine looking T/A! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

I think certain wheels go with certain cars and certain colors on cars. Like I think the FM10's look good on silver (tullis has me convinced) and on dark colored cars like black or NBM but I think the FM5's will look good on either f-body no matter what color. Just my .02

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

I really dig the FM10's...but the thought of cleaning them terrifies me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

I already posted the pic of my FM5's, but here is one of my best friends SS with FM10's on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img src="http://www.lvfbody.com/images/members/member_pics/DAVE_HORN/DAVE_HORN_0.jpg" alt=" - " />

Toss in the clear corners he has right now, and its sick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

I like the 5's, but to be honest about it, the Boyd's don't look bad at all!

Re: FM5's or FM10's?
 

The picture is a bit unfocused, but you cant go wrong with the FM10's
