$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.

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.

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

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

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..
