I think that if Fikse made a rim for the Hummer it would look pretty cool. Why don't you design your own on AutoCad? That would be pimp!

If I had time, that would be an idea Nick but we just started a 10yr project here and with the other project mid way thru, I don't have much personal time to layout my own concept at this point....

Here's the idea though...
