Dare to be Different..
I've been getting the bug lately to get new rims, and I've been lusting over these for quite some time, I havent seen anyone with these wheels on a shark, so I had to photoshop it..
Fikse FM5
and I know what you're thinking, why not go with TT2's?
I like em, dont get me wrong.. but I want to be different, and it seems everyone that puts aftermarket rims on their car goes with them.
but to be fair I did a chop of them too
I'm wondering if anyone else has any suggestions I could look into..
17's and billet (or polished) aluminum is a must
Thanks

Its hard to beat a nice set of ralleys on an early shark IMO. After saying that, I took mine off too and got the TTII's. I like the Edelbrock 409's pretty good too.
The wheels in the first pic actually look really good on your vette. I think it may be the color of your vette but I like em on your vette.

either wheel looks good..but your right about everyone having TT2s..still looks good, I went with Boyds myself..(flame suit going on) with a vintage look..sort of......bumper cars look better with wheels where "less is more"

The TT2's look awesome, I guess that's why so many have them. The Fiske wheels look great, would be a very good fit on a C4 - IMO way too modern for a chrome bumper C3

17" rallies ???? .... just an idea, there is a company here in Orlando that sells chrome rallies in 15", 16" and 17" ... not sure if they have 17X11" - that would be awesome... and different !!

I am looking at the black annodized CCW 3 piece street wheels.
(mainly cause who else is gonna give me affordable custom wheels in the 17x10 and 17x12 range)

I really like the Fikse's. I thought about those too. Kinda pricey, but high quality and definitely unique. I think most 5 spokes look good on chrome bumper sharks.
I think this might be my new set sometime soon.
17's or 18's would be nice in any non-stock wheel. The rallye's just don't look quite right at that size.
