The FM5's and Profile 5's are the perfect wheels for the 4th gen cars. They look sooo perfect. This wheel design has been around for years and years and it still looks as fresh and modern as the day they came out.

Not yet....toooooo many other things to work on at the minute. To busy focused on squeezing the new bullet under these short fbod cowls . As we near winter mod season here in the north, this may be one of them. Not sure why I would but it may be one of those things that I do just to do it.

I will in a couple weeks when they get to my house.. I have the same wheels as him except more backspacing and Danny said the finish was slightly improved.

I think this comment may have been taken out of context. The Titanium Black finish (which you have) is an improved version of the old Dark Speed Silver finish.
