Re: Fikse wheels (Z06 Quin)
good luck keeping them round.....I've heard they are a soft wheel.....
Hence the lightweight :p:
"Soft" and "Light" don't go hand-in-hand......just because it's one doesn't mean it's the other.....
I have a close friend with FM10s on his Tacoma and I can assure the wheels after a curb incident or 2 are not soft.
I drove my friends Z06 today while he drove mine. He has had his repaired as best as possible (they are only 6 months old, never been curbed) and they still are not round......these of course aren't SUV rims, they are sports car "low profile" tire wearing rims....not a rim with a 5" sidewall.......

Re: Fikse wheels (C5+ZR1)
Had my FM5's on my '99' since 1998. !8,000 miles, racing , touring, and cross country. Still a great wheel and would do it again. Get a lot of compliments with these wheels. :D :cheers: :steering: :flag

Re: Fikse wheels (DS)
When I bought my set off Ebay, I first confirmed that they were C5 fitment by emailing the serial #'s to Fikse. There support was great! I like the look and get lots of :thumbs:
A bit of concern, last fall when I went to a local dyno day I spoke with a woman who did a lot of autoXing and she had been refused a dyno run because because her wheels were out of round. I got to crank up the dyno ...316.4 HP 323.4 TRQ :steering:
