Fikse Aro 3-piece Rotary Forged Matte Black finish wheels & tires.
These were originally polished wheels that were painted professionally, & the finish looks really good. I called Fikse and gave the serial #’s to them & this is the information that they gave me on sizing: Rear: 18x10.5 57mm offset, Front: 18x9.5 57mm offset. They were made for C5 Fitment or non-widebody C6. After a little research I have found they run this size rim & tire on a Camaro or Firebird with a 3/8” rear spacer OR massaging the inner fender for clearance. These balanced with minimal weights & spin true. Includes full set of black locking lugs.
Points to note on each wheel (all very minor and not noticeable at 3-4’, but want full discosure):
RR: 2-3 small places that look to have been curb rash that was fixed before finishing in black, also 3 spokes had a small scrape that has been touched up.
LR: Good condition
RF: Good condition
LF: Had 3-4” section of minor curb rash that was sanded out and touched up.
Rear Tires: Nitto 555RII 305/35ZR18 good for a night at the track (that’s about it).
Front Tires: Nitto NT555 275/35/zr18 around 50% tread.
$1400. Located south of Houston in LaPorte TX.

Right on, she will be a really fun ride with all of that! Let me know when it all comes together. I'd be interested in hearing her.
Someone needs a set of nice lightweight 3-piece wheels!
