Love the Fikse's

The rear rims look to be a little wider than normal , much better.

Looks great.

What size and offset are the wheels? Also, what finish did you get?

Technipolish which is standard. All 17 inch with 315 BFGs on the rear. I believe standard ZR-1 fitment but not positive on the offset. I have a call into Fikse for some new O-Rings. I will ask them to make sure.

The ones on my Z are 17x9.5 +50mm offset on the front and 17x11 +43mm offset on the rear.

Fikse told me that I had the "most agressive" stance they offered. Either way, both sets look great!!!

Shot of the rears on the Z:

Shot of the ones on the red LT4...they are "shallower" than the Z rims.

CONGRATS Daryll - Your car sure does look great. Absolutely freaking beautiful.
I must say though, I really think they looked better on Nick's red car.
Please put me first in line for these when you move on and we'll get them back on torch red.

Thanks Bob we need to hook up we are so darn close. Pop hung the Shortie DRM headers on the 96CE he was pretty happy with a little more grunt. Hows the long tubes?

Im running 96 GS/CE Calipers with Baer Eradispeeds. Short answer is yes as there may be clearance issues otherwise for a C5 OR C6 Setup. I know the A-Molds dont have an issue but the sawblades do and the FIKSEs may also have issues of clearance
