Im in search, and damn picky. Help?
Im in search, and damn picky. Help? Im looking for wheels like the HP evo, Fikse FM/10's or Mach V, Forgeline LS Wheels. Anything with that style is what I am looking for. Doesnt seem to hard to find right cuz I just named a bunch of em off?Well, Im looking for 17's...Cheaper on the pocket book and easier to find radials for(that I dont hve to pay 300+ per wheel). I like the idea of keeping the rotating mass the same as well. I want a gun metal color for my silver WS6. The problem I am finding is they arent near wide enough. The fronts I would like to keep stock (9.5) but would like something wider in the rear. If I cant get wider in the rear, not a huge deal if I jsut get some better rubber. Any ideas for where I can get a set of wheels? If there are some other designs (5 spoke or more of those styles) that are in a gunmetal, let me know as well. Sorry for the long drawn out paragraph, just getting picky!
What about these?I think these would look pretty decent. Decent price too.

In regards to getting wheels "cheap," it sort've goes like this:
-You can have the style you want...
-You can have the size you want...
-You can have the finish you want...
....but you can't have all three. Pick two.
I found these wheels from Konig:

Might wanna e-mail the seller to see if they make the right bolt spacing for F-bodies. Good luck.

nice looking wheel. Im not really looking cheap, I want a nice looking wheel, but im not a huge fan of monster wheels for my setup. I love the looks of 18's, but tires are outrages for that size, I will look into thse wheels.
Any more suggestions?

The TT's were originally too tho(Bullet GT's or w/e they were called), and look how those came around to the f-body world.

When I first saw this wheel, since it looked exactly like an Evo that's what I took it for, but it looks like the design has been "borrowed" by other companies. This one's from a company called Aza, and it's the "Z-2" model. Complete wheel and tire package deal from Wheelmax. Here you go:

I know they have been around for a long time. Im a car nut like no other and have mostly been around old cars. My dad has them and I hit every car show around, including Car Craft and Back to the 50;s in Minn. I know they are from way back, but I was just stating they were on mustands, so nothing wrong if i would have went with those other wheels. Just stating.

The word Fikse & cheap dont play well with each other. But they also arent everywhere you look like the evo's are now. Trust me I had a set, that was the main reason I got rid of them. Just go ahead & splurge a lil bit & get you some Fikse, you want regret it. I look at mine daily.
Yea. Im liking those as well. thinking about HPR5's now tho, they have a darker center like I want..Gotta make up my mind before summer gets too close, cuz I want them on before I get home from school.
