Default Pick My Wheels!!!!

I am having a hell of a time deciding on what to do. Right now I have Black Anodized Fikse FM5's that look killer on the car. Here is proof.




Now, I am thinking about selling them and getting some Billet Specialties Street Lites. Here is a photoshop of what they MAY look like on my car.



Now here is how I see it. The Fikse's are only 17x9.5 all around. Which look killer but I would really like a 17x11 rear. The Street Lites are 17x11 rear AND 17x7 front giving them that pseudo skinny look but still maintaining some cornering ability over just a 15x3.5. AND if I got the street lites I could get a set of MATCHING 15x10's to put on the car for the track.

What do you guys think? Keep the Fikse's or get the Street Lites?

I like the street lites. Plus, like you said, you could have a matching set of 15's for the track.

Fikse's. If you're getting a drag wheel, make sure you have street wheels too, IMO.

Fikse, but then get the set of 15x10's for the track, then you have both sets of wheels that you like.

I probably shouldn't vote, seeing as how I sold you those FM5s.
