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.

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.

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!

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

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
