This isn't my exact car but it's what I wanted it to look like. The Racing Sparco's aren't wide enough, so i'm down to the Racing Hart and Fikse.

Hehehe. I just searched for "wheels" and we meet again Anyhow, I just looked at the Fikse wheels and they are still using the old style lip, where it has a step in it. The outer-edge might have, for example, a 17" diam, then as you go in it steps down to 16" diam. So you therefore end up with a 16" face on a 17" wheel.

The newer wheels have a flat, straight lip. So on a 17" wheel, you get a 17" face (I am really generalizing this so I don't confuse anyone). This looks ALOT cleaner and also makes the wheel look bigger. My friend has the old step-style lip and his 18" wheels almost look like 16's.

But if you are already aware of this and took it in to consideration, then you can just ignore me. And lastly, aren't Fikse pretty pricey any way??? Like around $800 each? I have a guy who imports awesome, high-quality 3 piece Japanese brands for less than what you would probably pay for the Fikse. Only drawback is having to wait 90 days for them to get here but that gives you more time to save up the dough.

I would take Work Meister S2's over Fikse if I could get them at a lower price. If I don't get enough tax returns, it looks like i'll be getting the Racing Hart's CP035's 17x9.5's F/R. Since they are white, i'll prolly have to clean them every single day and it's not much bling bling to attract the hoochies.

Here you go buddy:http://www.importhookup.com/wheeloptions/work.htm

According to the site, Work Meister S2, 17x8 fronts & 17x9 rears for $1890 with free ground shipping. If you read carefully, they give you a link for an other site to order them from and you just mention the "import hookup" site in order to receive that special discounted price.

Your other site has the Racing Hart CP035's for $471 each ($1,884 for 4) and then you would still have to pay shipping.

To me, the Works look a lot nicer, but just my opinion

That's not wide enough though, it would be 17x9.5-F/R and I mixed up the Meister. It's Work Meister S1 (3 peice) but not sure of the width's since they are 18's. Where's the photoshop guys?

This is as good as I could get it. Otherwise you'd have to pay me.

Thanks Tom

Those white Racing Hart's look real good! I didn't think why would blend that well with a white car.

Now it's either those or the Work Meister's, uhg.

Yeah but the Work Meister is only 9" wide and I want 9.5"

Hmm, what about the Fikse anodized in all race black?

I'll be more than happy to Photoshop any wheels for you guys, but you'll have to email me FLAT pics of them. If the wheels are at an angle in the pics, obviously I can NOT use them. Email them to me at tomsrx7@aol.com

GRRRRRRrrrrrrrr!

I know, that's the problem...no flat pics!

I do have a pic of Fritz Fynn's car...and it is at just the right angle that I think the pics of the Fikse on there site will fit...

Will that do?

I don't know. I grapped the pic from another thread. I d/l'd it to edit the size and now I can't remember who uploaded it. I'd like to know if they are 17's or 18's myself.
