I like them...Fikse are some nice rims. Probably would've gone a little bigger though like a staggered 19/18 or maybe 19's all around.

I like what I see, Fiske's are a great all around wheel.

Just curious, how much do they weigh ?

Time to lower that 4x4.
Its really easy to do and doesnt take that long.

It looks really good! 19s are too big for 335 drag radials so I went with 18s all the way around.
