Very nice...I wish my calipers weren't all ground down from when I was using Welds on the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> I'd love to get mine done in complete red powder-coat. May have to find some cores.

18's would definately look sweet. I used to be more conserned with hooking up on the street though, so I opted for 17's.

Brian:

I'm looking too.

Todd:

Mine were all ground down also. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Don't worry about that, that's no big deal. I can take care of that.

So what do you think the turnaround time would be for powder coating them in red?

I'd just like to go on record as saying that the Fikse FM5 is the ultimate 4th gen wheel. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

They look very nice.. Hey, how much for two rear calipers smoothed out and black powder painted??

Shoot me and email at steven0932@aol.com

I would imagine that you have to disassemble the calipers, power paint them then rebuild the calipers.. right? (seals couldnt handle the head of powder painting)..

Yeah I would say the FM5's or FM10's in 18's would be the best looking f-body wheels. I opted for 17's so I could use drag radials.

Turnaround time on calipers is 2 days. If you want the caliper itself powdercoated, I do have to disassemble the caliper to get the dust boot and o-ring out so they don't melt in the oven. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

It's $200 for all 4, or $100 for 2.
