Love these rims

http://www.gmhightechperformance.com.../photo_06.html

Now I read that they were custom made, but that they were used as a prototype for an actual production of them, but I'm not sure how true it is.

After a little searching I found this

I absolutely love these rims, and the car they're on is the one I will be basing my exterior off of. I believe this car now has the 6Le front and side splitters also. which can be found on this site somewhere

Got some pics for you guys, I personally like 17" rims on the camaros, but these look amazing, and i think I will have to get them. The bottom two pictures are the same car, but with 6le splitters, looks amazing. I'm thinking of copying it but with some matte black stripes, unsure of what though.

Well apperently they're selling them at that site, the owner of that car posted a link to that somewhere and yeah they do look like the Fikses, which that or the Black ZR1 replica wheels are my backup wheels, will actually probably still want the ZR1 wheels for the track or something.

I love those wheels imo they look better then fikse fm5's would love to see how they look fully polished.. by the way in the description of the wheels it says the 3k price is for a set of four not for each wheel, that would just be insane

I just have to say it again, because these wheels are just beautiful, I just wish the owner of the "Phantom SS" would chime in and give us some more info
