Wow, those are the best wheels you can get on an f-body in my opinion. Can one of you give me a ball park figure for price on a set of 9.5 and 11's on the back? I'm guessing about $2,500....am I close?

More than likely a little more, 17" x 9.5" run around $600 to $700 each.

God I ***** this picture out alot...but you did ask. You can get a good set used for cheaper than you think. Really the wheels themselves are in a whole difference class than the cheaper stuff like chrome Z06, zr1's, ESPECIALLY AR TTII's (based on my experience with the Hopsters)

Your looking at about 1200 more for used Fikse's and they are worth every penny. The high end wheel place that did my mounting and balance sold them and HRE's and other high ends brands. They said that HRE's are more "bling" but the Fikse is a better wheel and costs less. I wish I liked the way they looked on C5's

That's the exact setup I want on my SOM WS6. Eibach Prokit, FM5 9.5 & 11s. But I can't find a used set in those sizes

Not to mention I would probably be disappointed with myself if I went with 9.5 all the way around. I would eventually want to move to an 11in rear. *sigh* guess i'll have to wait until someone wants to sell!
