Default WTB: Fikse FM5's - 17x9.5/17x11

Looking for a set before I'm forced to buy them new. Prefer satin centers over full polish. Let me know.

Fikse has a awesome deal for 2800. You might save acouple of hundred buying used but when your going this deep into wheels what's a couple of hundred

The thing with buying new is you also have to buy tires, then go through the hassel of finding someone that can mount them without damaging the wheels. The tires alone will add another $1000 easily. You can usually find a set of these used, with tires, for less than what you could buy the wheels themselves for new.

The more I think it through, the more I lean towards cheaper wheels. I've had just about all the usual suspects when it comes to wheels for F-Bodies, so finding something that strikes my interest is getting harder.

Not a big fan of the perimeter screws even when they're real and serve a purpose.

If I had a Trans Am still, I'd be all over the FM10's.
