$2500 or so, LPE has them for $675 a wheel I think. They do look awesome on the Pontiac's.

So, THATS how my car would have looked with FM-5s. Pretty sweet. Levi, if you get some go with 18s though.

Raf, you are going to go into pimp withdrawal syndrome when you put those chevy 10-spokes back on the 'bird

Contact Todd with Discount Tire. He can probably take care of you on those Levi. Around Houston, I'd still prefer the Racing Harts since everyone here has Fikses. Up in KY, Fikses are probably somewhat rare.
