Fikse never seems to go out of style imo. I just can't get over the admission price.

You can't go wrong either way truly. Whichever one you get you will drool over your own car everytime you see it. For the tiebreaker I'd just go with the 17 or 18" debate. You want 17's get Fikse. 18's CCW.

I like both but I'll stick to my CCW's. My buddy calls me every other day asking me to trade my Classics for his FM10's but I just can't seem to wanna do it.

I would actually prefer SP500's on my car, but I like FM/5's alot better out of the 2 on Camaro's, so my vote is for the Fikse's!

I'd say for a more classy, refined , timeless look go with the fikse, they'll be easier to maintain in the long run , but if you're looking for a more sporty look then go with the ccw. i was torn as well but im going with fikse when Nineball gets back in touch with me
