Where's the best place to buy these wheels? Is Nine Ball still a vendor?

Granted Fikse was recently purchased by another company, I don't think they started production yet. There are a few used sets lurking around if that's an option for you.

I saw them in one of your other posts, but I'm wondering why the rear wheels don't have a fat lip. Most of the 17x11 Fikse wheels I've seen have a fat dish

All you guys have really nice wheels and taste, I am saving up for a set for my car right now, FM5 are SEXY AS HELL on Camaro's and Trans Am's 17/9.5 front and 17/11 rear. Best looking wheel I have ever seen on them but dam expensive.

Yeah TS6 must have a different offset than most people with FM5's. I'm definitely going to be getting these wheels though, but I'll have to see if I'm still going to throw down on a Jeep SRT first.

Here are mine:



17" x 9.5" on all four corners.

The silver car above, look like they are the C5 Corvette offsets.

I dunno, they are what they are. They are made for 4th gens and vettes. They fit perfect on my SS. I think they are the "profile" series. Either way, they are clean and fit right.
