Have you thought about Budnik wheels? I had 17"x9.5" front and 17"x11" rears on my Firehawk I just sold. In FULL polish. The build quality, weight were great and the polish job was so good they looked like they were chrome! Also, price is why I went with "Hammers" and not the I-forged Aero's at the time. Of course that was four years ago.......Just something else to think about!

They are on the website under the "Drivers series". You can get them in either a flat lip or stepped. I bought the stepped at the time but both look great. I don't remember how much they cost me, It was in the $2200 to $2500 range. Here is a couple pics of them on my hawk I just sold last month.

Look pretty good. Without a side few cant tell exactly, but they kind of remind me of FM5s. Looks like you got a nice stable of cars there.

Htown I hate rivets with a burning passion. Only wheel I have ever liked with exposed hardware is the Classics. Arent HRE's a little more expensive than what Ive listed as well?

What are you using? I hear the new Adams metal polishes work wonders. My car will never see rain and will sit in a garage. I know the no rain part helps but Ive heard of them getting dirty sitting in a garage lol.

I've used Noxol and Mother Billet in the past with excellent results but I am not satisfied with the results this time around...maybe I am being too picky because they are incredible from 5ft away but looking real close (1ft) I think they can look better

Thought about it, but it is pretty darn expensive for the normal size bottles

^Adams always has specials. Forum members get 10% off always and I think I saw something about a Fathers Day special going on now as well.

Late night buzz and feeling sad that Fikse is out of the running although I do love the 500s definitely the wheel of choice if I choose a ctsv as a dd when I get back from Afghanistan

Ive heard pros and cons about Zoopseal. I heard it leaves the finish dull and isnt that cheap.
