Just bought a pair of Fikse FM5 Rims
 

I couldn't believe the buy it now price when I saw these on ebay:

I really had no concrete plans to buy rims. I've always loved these rims and called Fikse to see about pricing--each rear (in 17x10) is $949 each :eek:

Here's a pic of them in 18 inch size on a Porsche for those unfamiliar with the rims:

I just can't pass up a good deal so I jumped on them--now to sell my organs to afford the fronts :D

i know! ideas on how much 17x9s will cost for the fronts?? it would probally be something like 600 each per wheel

I have those in 17x10 rear, 17x8.5 front.

Nice Buy-it-now, Rich! :cool:
$1200 sound tempting!:p:

Thanks, Ed. I actually thought back to a few weeks ago when I was in your garage admiring your R1 (to include your rims) and remembered how sweet they look on an FD. That's that pushed me to click the mouse ;)

I don't suppose you have an extra pair of 17x8.5s laying around, do ya :D?

THOSE ARE FOR ONLY TWO RIMS
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

You little dirty son of a ................. :D
We hate you now ;)

That is the most inciteful, intelligent, and well-thought out post I've ever seen come out of you, Johnny-boy :)

Wow... sweet wheels...

You can pick up alot of deals like that on just two rims, then you buy two more and you save yourself some money...

i personally would not pay $750 for two rims and tires. i don't car what they are. i'm not rich enough for that yet LOL

Hahaha another words your credit card is maxed out at the moment...:D


(kidding of course)

That is why you and I have nothing in common ;)

And if you think 750 bucks is too much for a pair of quality rims and tires for your 400+ hp FD, then you should look into purchasing a Kia Sephia to mod :cool:

I find it hiliarious that someone would say they would never pay $750 for 2 Fikse wheels.

:crackup: :hahaha: :crackup: :hahaha: :crackup:

Don't forget about the brand new 275/40 Bstone Potenza's mounted on them :)

Poor Vosko will prolly put Neeper Bling Bling Rimz on his Ryde :D

Bling bling wheels are expensive.
He will prolly go with sumtin like these: :D

You'd think the fact that the thread title includes the word "pair" would have clued him in---mayhaps he thought it was a post about a succulent bulbous fruit so his fat ass was obliged to check it out? :hah::rofl::wave:

Vosko: over 60 miles driven in an FD

'Nuff said ;)

Yes, what is that indeed? You're *already* leaking oil?

Is that a special Jspec Tilt Steering Wheel? Because that prodigious belly of yours has forced you to ride shotgun in the past :D

Seriously Jon, you got a very nice deal on those rims. I'm not a fan of the style, but if you like them then that's all that matters. Now go hit the treadmill so I'll have less ammunition during these little Zinger fests we have
:p:

We have tilt Steering wheels?:confused:
