Default FM5 or FM10?

I want to know which would look better on my red 1999 Z28. Please post pics if you have either on a red Camaro. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

FM5

Ever since I saw the MTI Camaro back in 1998 (the red one used in there adds) I have like the FM10s on Camaro's. That is what I would get.

FM10's if the car is a BMW. FM5's if it's an F-Body. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Well i kinda have the opposite for ya, but here's an idea.
I have a red T/A with FM5's on it, and in the other picture is my boy's white SS with FM10's on it.
Hope this helps somewhat. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

BTW, FM10s are a huge PITA to keep clean, be prepared to spend over an hour and lots of elbow grease and aluminum polish to get it done right.

I've already decided to get the FM5s. They look better IMO and I got a better deal on them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Thanks for the replies/opinions, guys!

I will have the FM5s too. I need opinions on the options though. I can't decide between the satin finish with high polished lip, or complete high polish. Does anyone have good, clear pictures of these rims on a car, preferrably a black camaro? I am looking for 17x9.5/17x11
