Next month I'll be placing my order for FM5's (17x9.5 on 4 corners). What finish do you guys think would look better, these will be installed on a Maroon 2001 Z28.

Technipolish (no charge)
Full Polish ($100 per wheel)

Technipolish is the was to go on Fiske wheels, not hard at all to keep clean. Full Polish will be crazy hard to keep clean if you drive the car daily...

I have the Technipolish on my wheels. and they look like a high polish, but I wash my car 2-3 times a week and sit it in the garage... that may have something to do with it.

I plan on getting the full polish when I get mine, I think that looks the best...

Technipolish . . . .

I actually ordered the full polish from the tire shop but they ordered the technipolish instead. When I went in and saw the technipolish, I was like, WOW! THOSE ARE AWESOME! So I kept them. The slight two-tone polish on the technipolish wheel looks great!

Zero2Sixty

Thanks for the great replies guys, looks like I'll be placing my order for the technipolish.

Did the wheels come with lug nuts, if not what do you recommend I order before hand.

They do not come with lugs, FIKSE offered lugs when I bought mine, but I already had some McGuards. Any nice coned chrome lug will do well. But ultimate I'd think any shop that is going to sell you wheels should offer you some lugs too.

I bought lugs from Fikse when I bought mine and they were ugly! They were a dull chrome and had the thread size stamped on the end. I sent them back and got som Mcguards as well.

Zero2Sixty

Sounds good, Im almost positive Im running Mcguards on my TT2's so I'll probably reuse those.

Thanks guys

You could also think about ordering blank centercaps so you could put z28 on them or something.

Zero2Sixty

Thats a great idea, looks like your centers say SS, where did you have them done ?

BIGBOS

I'm thinking about getting 18x11's in the back and 18x10's in the front....full polished..

Are the FM5's clearcoated??

Everyone thinks they're machined, but they're decals!
Got them from Mark IXZD 150

Another shot of Techni-Polish and another option on a center cap!

Bambeezer

The centers are cleared on the technipolish. The full polished may not be. I had Fikse clear my outer rim half so I don't ever have to polish them.

BIGBOS

How much did they charge you to do that?

Bambeezer

I think it was around $100 for all 4 wheels.

BIGBOS

Thats not too bad, so if I look at it as 200 more per wheel for the full polish and clearcoat, and I want 18x11's in the back and 18x9.5's in the front....

How much am I going to spend here...

Around $4g w/o tires . . . .
