Default FM5's on a vert = ;)

Well I told myself I wasn't going to post a pic of it until I lower it, but I figured I would go ahead. Yes I know it needs lowered It's getting Koni SA's and Strano's soon.

Anyways the wheels are full polished and are 17/9.5's front with 11's out back. As for right now that is the only mod to the car. lol Stock car with Fikse

Big thanks to Xsta for his guidance and to blue00WS6 for selling them to me.

http://www.fikse.com/racegear.html

Just a thought I figured I would throw out there and get some opinions on.
Nice wheels, but please don't put a decal on there. Unless Fikse sponsors you, don't put a decal on there. You can clearly see they're Fikse's by reading the center cap. Save your pennies for the lowering!
