Default New Wheels: FM5 Goodness
I finally got around to mounting the Fikse FM5 on my '99 SS. These are the old style Fikse wheels which give them a unique look. They have small centres and big hoops - they're 18" all around.

Enjoy.

Looks nice, some of the shots make the rears look really narrow for some reason. I'm guessing they are 275s?

Looks great OP. I love those wheels. I want a set for my Firehawk but some reason the wife hates them. So I'm either looking at picking another set of wheels or wife.

Yes, they are narrow, but I can always change that down the road if I keep them long enough. They're 275s out back.

I've always loved the FM5s - CCW Classics were the ones that were an acquired taste.

My girlfriend liked my CCW 505As better. Probably best to keep the wife, though.
