I figured they were 13s because the back tires were 335s. Nice score on the CCW's!! I have five Fikse FM5s, and I'm in them for 1,400 bucks. Thought I did good, but you knocked it out of the park with your purchase

i was wanting fm5 but couldn't find any....I'm a big fan of these as well.... BBS....To expensive.....I just bought four more 12s for 1200..... Another good deal.....With the 12s I hope to do away with the adapters that are on the back....And I'm going to try to get the 11 on the front without​ problem

I like them, but only if the were black or polished. Don't like them painted to match that car.

Just about anything but replicas, chromed, or take-offs.
For me, the best looking rims are the true customs: HRE's, Forgeline, etc. You know, the guys who make wheels where YOU pick out the diameter, the width, the offset, the setback, the color/finish, and the design. NO TWO SETS ALIKE!

Just put these on. The original white rims were all chipped up on my 35th.

Nice to see so many good looking rims on so many good looking c4's - just one more plus for the c4 - the versatility - it can look good with contemporary or classic style rims

WOW! Fikse FM5s, CCWs, and Forgelines. It really doesn't get better than that.
Great choices at the very top of the custom wheel field.

I picked up these C5 wheels locally for $300, they are in near perfect condition.
Primarily i just needed the front 17in so i could run C5 brakes.




I really love the new look.
​​​​​​​And in the future i want to lower the car...

If i find a good deal on a matching set, then I'll run the 18s on front and rear, then put the 17s on my wifes car...

If you like the CCWs, here they are in silver polished finish (17x11):



And I was really pleased with the way my Forgestar CF5 look at 18x11:

These are a cheaper option than CCWs and Forgelines these days, and are still a quality wheel.
