vosko, you need to chill man, when you said you would never pay $750 for two rims, that was a pretty ignorant if you actually read the original post. He obviously really wanted these wheels and so what if he spends that much on wheels?
dont hate and post useless opinions just cause you cant afford brand name rims 
"there are only 3 sets of my rims... blahblahblah" yea and by looking at them i can see why... eww man, who would buy those things? now stop acting like youre my age and grow up
oh and, great Fikse rims btw, i like!

FM5s/FM10s:
17x8.5: 19.2/17.3 lbs
17x10: 20.1/18.1 lbs
Pretty damn light. When I told him how light our stock FD rims are, the guy was very impressed

Same question with the rear.
BTW, sorry I didn't to make it out to the Atlanta meet when you were in the area. Maybe next time since you seem to float around, base to base.

FM5s and FM10s are two different styles of fikse rims. go to fikse.com to check them out.
no problem about the atlanta meet--I didn't make it either

Tim: Look at Rich's post again and note that he is giving the weights for the FM5s and the FM10s. The former is 19.2 lbs while the latter is 17.3 lbs in 17x8.5 sizing.
I thought it interesting that the FM10s is about the same weight as the stock 17x8.5 wheels. Figured they'd be a little lighter.

The Kinesis (as per a Kinesis rep) told me K58s 18x10 weigh in at about 20lbs. Someday..........
