Anybody have or seen a set of LM5's on an fbody? Preferably a Trans Am.

Lately been really trying to settle on a set of wheels for my Trans Am. The car is my daily driver and autox/strip toy. I ws just planning on going cheap and getting some c5 DD from OEwheels. However, I have always wanted a set of nice forged wheels. I have tried searching regarding the durability for a nice set of 3 piece wheels on a daily driver, and haven't found any information. Hopefully some of you can shed some light on this as well.

Like I said, I'd like to see some LM5 pics. Deciding between them, some classics, or some Fikse fm5's.

3 piece wheels are the best you can buy, i have never heard of durability issues, my note is fm10s for a bird,nice used wheels pop up all the time in the 2500 dollar range,and thats with a set with good tires

I don't personally care for the 505A's. Some cars look stunning with them, but they're just not my cup of tea.

Really deciding now between the Fikse FM5's FM10's, or a set of CCW's. Leaning more toward the FM5's just because the FM10s will be a pain to keep clean on DD duty.

I haven't really considered them to be honest. I know they are a quality wheel, just never put much thought towards them.

How are they in price compared to Fikse and CCW? I'm going to give them a look right now.

If your considering FIKSE, HRE shouldn't be an issue lol

CCW is the cheapest of them all.

I have yet to see LM5s on an F-body.

I would really like to put them on my next F-Body.

You shouldn't have issues DDing 3-piece wheels - they are meant to be extremely strong, and it gives you the flexibility to replace a hoop should you happen to bend or curb it.

Guy with the SN Grifter on here has them on his third gen and they look badass!

From a WS6 owner with FM10s, go with FM10s! I studied a lot of pictures before I made my choice, IMO FM10s look better than FM5s on birds. Was just about to order 505s when a killer deal on FM10s came up. With tecni-polish centers, they stay pretty damn clean. I polish the lip with Adams #2 once sometimes twice a month. While my car isnt a DD, its really not all that bad. The faces come clean with a simple wash and a quality brush. I can have all 4 lips polished in 15 minutes. Cant go wrong with Fikse their pieces of art..

I always thought the FM10's looked best on the birds as well. I really love the look of the FM5's also though. Either way you can't go wrong IMO.

The lm5's are definitely a nice set of wheels. There are tons of pictures of them on other cars and they look good but like u said dont know how they would look on an fbody mainly because they look alot smaller on the car then they actually are mainly due to how their designed
