Yeah they do seem a little small. Did you get 17's or 18's? Its not that big a deal though, they still look pretty sweet 
. Those are the ones I want to get also.

16's? lol i dont even think fikse as 16 listed as a size on their web site for either line
yeah, they are 17, i wanted to keep my stock tires so these new wheels didnt cost me well over 5 grand after i was done. i do wish i could have gotten 18x10.5 and 18x9.5 instead of 17x9.5 all around, but, oh well.
i do agree they look small in the pictures, honestly i think it might just be the angle im standing at (since your looking down). in person i dont think its quite so noticable. i do think they'd look better as 18's, but, i still love them

I'm definitly not trying to knock the way they look they just kinda looked small. I bet if you lowered the car and brought it down to the wheels a little it'd take alot of that away. I'm a big fan of the profil 5s

haha, well, my next project for the car was a 12 bolt w/ 4.11's, but, i guess maybe you guys have talked me into redoing the exaust and dropping it. to bad my poor college *** will have to wait until the summer when im working more then 26 hours a week, lol
They look small because Fikse still uses the antique style stepped lips. That means the centers are smaller in diameter, making the wheels look small. On an FM5, it isn't as noticeable since the spokes are fat looking. These wheels have thin looking spokes, which appear kind of stubby when on a small center.
They are nice wheels, but something just doesn't look "right" about them on your car. Probably due to it being so high in the air most likely.

Find some used springs on here and make that priority. 2" is too much if you daily drive the car, but if you have a "beater" for school like me, (trust me, its a beater) then drop it like its hot.
