Default Wheels, what else?

Well, I'm a freak of a Fikse fan, just can't afford spending that kind of jack. So, the only other wheel that seems to tickle my fancy so far is the Roh Snyper. Kind of forgot about them until someone else mentioned Roh in another thread. I don't like the OE looking wheels as everybody and their brother runs the Z06's, ZR1's, Speedlines, etc. I guess Torque thrusts look great too, but they're very common as well. I guess I just like the sharp type edges that Fikse and Roh use.

What was the question? Different types of wheels?

Fikse
CCW
TSW
Boyd Coddington

Are all nice wheels and not as played out as the replicas.

Just looking for anything similar to the Fikse, but much less money. Probably doesn't really exist.

I did find the FM5's for $665 each. Not that I'll be buying them all of a sudden. $2600 plus shipping is some serious cash for wheels. I guess my though process is this: $1000 or so for wheels, $500 for tires, the rest heads/cam or starting a 9". Obviously those who have plenty of money to spend or who are willing to go into debt just buy what they want. Still, nothing matches them on Fbody's imho.
