Also, I will vouch that the shine on Fikse does not shine until in the sun!

Thanks again
Oops I meant can lol.

Thanks for the vouch. You can see in the pics in the sink some of the reflection that they have when in good light, even better in the sun.

I honestly forgot the measurements off the top of my head, I can get them tomorrow after I get off work though.

Would you be wanting to put them on an F Body? The fitment is perfect for 4th gen F bodies since that is what they were made for

Here are pics of the final step of the barrel install.

Pics are of me putting on masking tape so that I can lay down the silicone, wheels are now finished and cleaned up.

No they aren't marked like a lot of wheels are, I actually have to get out a ruler, a straight edge, and do a lot of calculations to get the offset's. The backspacing is really easy to figure but the offset is a bit of a challenge.

That would be a much better option, less work for me

And whatever offset and backspacing they use is absolutely perfect. These wheels couldn't fit better..

Its funny I ran a set of chrome Gran Sports that were 11's in the rear also and sat out a hair wider too, but never brought the attention the Fikse's did, I have been approached so many times about the stance the car has with these wheels, I had a lot of people pull up beside me and ask questions while driving down the road, people in just regular every day cars. They definately bring a lot of attention. Surprisingly more than wheels that are just as shiny and wide but not the exact same.

No, I haven't. Concentrating on the motor now and finding a job since I recently lost mine....which leads to not having cash for trading lol.

Once tue motor is back in the car and tuned I will get to the wheels and body of car, providing I have a job! :-)

When I went to my insurance company to insure them they looked up the retail value on them and it was around $3600, not including shipping, lug nuts, blah blah.

Thanks for the vouch though P. Your car looked sweet yesterday it has came a long way since you got it man.
