Thanks again guys, I'm really happy with them now they've been on a few days. Just a few more things to finish off the exterior and I'm done on the outside.

Yessir, how long ago? It was probably either getting the n2o done, or the cats removed.

Honestly, yes. Comparing the CCW Classics to my previous FM/10's was pretty clear. Its not so much a craftsmanship thing, but more attention to detail, the machining lines on the spokes of the Fikse's (45* shaved edges, not just a 90* corner) just makes the whole wheel look higher quality. The backside of the wheels are quite a bit better as well. The CCW's are an awesome wheel, but when the Fikse's are literally 2x the price of the CCW's you kind of expect a difference.

Yeah, its pretty obvious that the level of quality is top notch either way (material wise and all that).. but its good to hear another picky bitches opinion (albeit one with a slightly larger budget). Is there a weight difference at all? If i read right the ccws were polished but these arent?

I don't remember what the CCW's weighed, these are 19lbs for the front, 21lbs for the rear, and they aren't small, lol. I bet the CCWs were close, but these have quite a bit less material in the spokes and also behind the spoke is hollowed out. I am OCD/Picky though! Lol

Those wheels really bring out the car trust I think it made it look better for sure. Can't wait to see pics of the build process and such when the turbo's go in. Post some track videos??

That Viper looks AMAZING. FM5s look perfect on it, much better than the CCWs you had.
