transmaro93 09-30-2012 08:17 PM

$1,600 for those?!?
If I was spending $1,600 on wheels I'd expect them to be made of some sort of ultra light weight space metal.

Aluminum?

No man. I'm sure they have some super rare alloy that weighs next to nothing. Or maybe I'm just a stooge lol.

Tru2Chevy 09-30-2012 08:56 PM

They look good, but not $400/each good.

And yet, they don't (or didn't for a while) fit a 2nd gen.

What wheels are $400 each, the fikses? it isn’t those cast YO wheels. They are under $1000 a set last I heard.

Fikses are probably forged aluminum with custom (ie CORRECT) offset, not china cast crap with poor offset choices.

eh?

BonzoHansen 10-01-2012 10:07 AM

typo, sorry.

I know intro price on those wheels was like $700. I think it's around $1000 now and includes lugs & center caps.

WildBillyT 10-01-2012 10:26 AM

Still don't fit?

LTb1ow 10-01-2012 11:23 AM

Why stray from the tried and true?

Fikses would look good on a garbage truck. I've never seen them on anything that did not look awesome. That is if you have the $, of course.

For reasonably priced 3rd gen stuff that doesn't need funky spacers, Paul H's CTW stuff looks very good.

Word, they only fit the second gen if the car is a 4X4, but they work on other cars, like the Chevelle I think

Thats what I came in here thinking that was being shown, especially since the Z28 wheel is not from a 3rd gen

FWIW I think that pic of those wheels on that yellow 3rd gen look good.

WBT they now have a 17x8 you can make work up front so you can now buy their 2nd gen wheels to actually fit a 2nd gen and not just every other GM car made. But I dont really want a 17x8/17x9 setup.

I ran the fm10's on my vette back in the day...great rim, excellent quality and forged. Ronals look great but are period correct. Got to go w/a staggered setup regardless but bonspeed makes a nice 5star rim for ours..
