CCW wheels best bang for the buck! IMO way better than Fikse or HRE. I know people are going to flame me but the CCW is much cheaper,lighter, and easyer to up grade. The trak set wheels 20bolts in the 17x10 weight is 19lb but if you want they can mill 1.5lb more off. You can also get titanium bolts to save 14oz. And to up grade you order different halfs $100-150 and you can change halfs yourself as they are bolts. The fikse and hre are not. Same 3 piece forged wheels. Very big in the AutoX world! I have 17x11 and 17x10 without the common backspace and they fit better than any afs 11" I have seen no hammering and sets inside the lip! Sorry no photos yet. About 1 1/2" clearance for wheel to rubber rear end bumper. Only cut out the bracket and done!

Fikse FM5s are some of the best looking wheels out, but carry a hefty price tag (like most of the other wheels from them, or that style).
Maybe try something like a set of Boyds or Budnicks or something like that, that isnt as "well known" to the boards, but still looks good and is functional to your needs.
