fikse wheels
Just bought a 2003 coupe after trading my 95 coupe.
I love the fikse fm5 wheels but really dont want to go
for $3000 wheels on a $25000 car.
Any alternatives or suggestions at a more reasonable price
would be appreciated. Im not crazy about the stock wheels
I loved the saw blades on the 95 and never considered
replacing them. Any input plus pictures would be appreciated.
I can handle $1000 to $1500 but 3 grand is too much
Thanks Cessna 10

If you're in the market for well made wheels, I'd really suggest getting a used set of Fikse's, CCW's, HRE's etc. You can definitely come across a deal if you look long enough.
If you want a set of nice wheels that are new and in your pricerange, I'd seriously consider Forgestar.

I personally have HRE 545's and I do definately recommend them. The TSW Interlagos and Nurburgring wheels are forged lightweight alternatives too. I do not have any experience with either of these brand rims but have noticed that many Forum Vendors are selling them and have not heard any negatives about them and they do look great.
