new shoes..FM5's
 
Put the new wheels on today and snapped a couple quick pics. I put hotchkiss springs in right after this too but i need to take some better pics. Polished Fm5's 17x11 in the rear with 315 bfg drags and 275 g forces up front

I think the FM5 is the best wheel I've ever seen on an f-bod. Also one of the most expensive. Looks great man.

All I can say is wow. The car looks incredible and I can only imagine how much better it looks with lowering springs. Get some more pics up ASAP.

Very nice .

Awesome bud, the FM5's are one of if not my favorite Fikse wheels. I've wanted a set for a long time, I am just torn between s nice street rims like that or getting a real drag setup 1st.

I love those wheels.

Noyzee Mar 24, 2008 07:02 AM

looks good man!!!
i got your message last night around 9. sorry i didnt call back.
still need info?

Fm5's are pure sex, nothing tops them on dumdumdumdum's IMO. Where are those zr1's going lol

JL ws-6 Mar 24, 2008 11:11 AM

Very nice.

Look into putting that ground effect kit on that noyzee has on his car rather then lowering it, that will give it the look but not cause the exhaust and everything to hang too low.

Looks damn good!

:drool: Looks great!!

Looks great man, I love the FM5's if only they weren't so expensive! I bet it looks great with the drop too.

badpewter-z Mar 24, 2008 11:56 AM

looks great :) cant beat a seat of fm5's :judge:

98hardtopSS Mar 24, 2008 12:02 PM

thanks for all the comments guys, i will post new pics when i get a chance to take some good ones. it looks really nice with the subtle drop to take away some wheel gap

dan- i said the same thing but i really want a street car no matter how far i want to go and i always want to run on 17's, i just couldnt resist these wheels, plus i needed new tires anyway so i might as well go for it all lol

brad- i am all set i just wanted to know how much clearance i should have between the tire and the wheel well but i should be all set now, thanks

those look sweet, have fun keeping them shiny... :)

98hardtopSS Mar 24, 2008 04:31 PM

haha yeah i plan on making the local shows...keeping them shiny may be tough but they are mint now and i hardly drive the car, it is not a dd so that should make it a little easier.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST WHEELS FOR A F-BODY! I have wanted these wheels since 2001. The polished version look great!
