Pics of CCW LM5?! 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 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.

Bird fm10s look the best period, fm5s camaro all day, honest maintenance wise they will both be the same,alot of people have had luck clearing them, and there not like a set of classics cleaning wise
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
