You've probably seen them on my car, but in case you're new or don't know me/my car, here they are.

FAQ:

• These are Fikse FM5's. They are a three-piece forged aluminum wheel with stepped lips and no visible rivets.
• All four are 17x9.5"
  • This means they are NOT 17x9.5"/17x11"
• The centers are anodized black. The outer hoops are polished
• The tires are BFG KDW. 275/40/17. I bought them last year and I'd guess they have MAYBE 2,000 miles on them. I bought them at Discount Tire and have all the paperwork for them.
• I would prefer not to separate the rims and tires, but will if a buyer is interested in just the tires or just the wheels.
• I would prefer a local sale, but if someone outside Houston wants to come get them or arrange to pay for shipping, I'll work with you.
• I am not the original owner of the wheels.
• They are not in perfect condition. There are some small nicks in the center sections that need some touching-up and the hoops can stand some polishing by someone equipped to do so. I talked to Fikse when I bought them and the guy told me they can re-anodize the centers for $200 per wheel. Or you can clean and sand them, then get them powdercoated.
• There is no curb rash on any of them.
• One of the wheels has been damaged and repaired. I don't know the details, as it was done by the previous owner. The wheel in question holds air and balances fine. I have included a close-up shot of the wheel in question.
• I'm not interested in trading for other wheels, but if you have some parts you think I might be interested in, I'll listen.
• I'm selling them because Tony said they looked silly on my car.
  • Honestly, I'm selling them because I hoped the "black centers with a blue car" look would grow on me, but it hasn't. I have replaced them with the wheels you can see in my sig.
• The lugnuts (included) are Gorilla lugs. They are black chrome, acorn bulge, closed end, 12mmx1.5. Locks (one per wheel) are also black chrome. Key is included. I purchased them from Thunder Racing.
• I'm a reasonable person and I'm easy to get along with. Please don't try to lowball me on price.

Price:
$2000 or best offer for all four wheels WITH tires and lugs.

These wheels are $3400 new. The tires are listed on Discount Tire's web site for around $1000 new locally. Given the condition of the wheels and tires, I feel this is a fair price.

Does the first wheel in the second pic have a logo on it? On the III Quadrant or at 7 o'clock? KSE or something?

Just wondering...it only shows up in that one pic.

Each of them say it, it's a matter of lighting. 6th picture pointing at 4o'clock you can almost make it out. Looks normal to me.

BTW, Chup. . .any chance I could give you either my 1st born or a left nut?

There are few wheels that are better looking than those,

All four say Fikse on one of the spokes. You just can't see it from the pictures.

I've got all the left nuts I need and if I'm going to have a kid, I want to at least enjoy making it.

Weird, I can't see it at all. Must be my screen or something.

Those are good looking rims, just really really plain looking.

good luck with the sale, price is a bit high though imo
by the way, how do the new wheels feel on the road, in comparison to the fikse wheels, considering the fikse are so light?

One of your wheels is counter balanced.
