Default Which would look best?

I'm comtemplating between either Fikse ARO SS's or FM/10's for my car. Which do you guys thing would look best? I know they will both look good, and the ARO's have more of a supercar feel to them thats why I like them. The car will also have a WS9 Outlaw hood (if its still available) or a WS6.

Here is the car as it sits



ARO SS



FM/10



(both from the fikse.com website)

Right now I am leaning toward the ARO's, but what do you guys think?

Personally I like the FM-10s. I would have them on my car but when these FM-5s came up the price was a steal. Couldn't turn 'em down. Would you be going with a polished finish or race black centers? Also, whichever you get, I suggest 18s, they really fill out nicely.

I like the FM-10's as well. No, don't put a WS6 or WS9 hood on, your car is one of my fav T/A's on here. keep it as is.

As far as the centers I think they would stay polished, or maybe a graphine/charcoal color. Thanks for the compliments STRETCH, I'm so on the fence about the hood its ridiculous.

I dont think you can go wrong with either of those choices, I like those second ones a tad more though.

Whoa...when I first saw the thread title, I automatically was going to say the FM10s...but those AROs look damn nice. I agree 100% about the "supercar" look, even though I'm not sure thats the right word. I know what you mean though.

Since I'm lazy, get some other pics of the wheels, even not on F-bodies, and post them up too...I'd like to see them from another angle.

Outta curiousity, do you know the hell you are about to get into getting those wheels and keeping them polished with the 10 zillion spokes? Oh man...my hands hurt thinking about it

I have to agree, I like what you have on.. why are you getting rid of them?

Though if I had to choose.. I like the cleaner look of the ARO

Honestly I think leave it as is, but if you have to change it the FM10.

Yea, I know polishing my wheels suck, but since I don't DD the car anymore I thought I'd give it a whirl, although thinking about it I may be getting over zealous! Here is another view of the ARO's (18's this time)

Trust...not that the FM10s are old, or played out...because they are pretty much timeless. Those ARO's really make the car stand out...kinda looks sporty and classy at the same time. Plus, even though they would be a pain, they would also be easier to polish than the FM10s. I just really, really like those wheels.

ARO SS Hands down. I like the straight cuts better. They just have a simple clean look. I agree leave the stock hood. I think the stocker has great lines to it.

It sounds like we are thinking about the wheels in a very similar way. There is something about those wheels that just pop for me.

The more I think about it the more i may keep the stock hood. It looks sleeker and might aid in a more exotic look (I know, I know, its only a TA) but I think you guys know what I mean.
