What are your thoughts on these rims? I'm about to pull the trigger, but before I do I would like to see if any of you have these and if you like them, pics would be great. Also, I cannot decide what color the normal silver or the gunmetal.

I do have another question for the tire guru's. I would like to run Yokohama Advan A048 on the car. I use my car only on nice days and track events. I can run a 265-35-18 in the rear, but tirerack recomends a 235-40-18 for the front and Yokohama doesn't offer a tire in that size. Could I use a 225-40-18?

Thanks, Patrick

You can run the 225 up front... but you could also run the 265 all around,. OR 265/front, 285/rear. Has the 'rack told you what sizes/offsets those wheels will come in?

mike schramm

Tire Rack says that these wheels come in 18X9.5 with a 50mm offset. Looks like 9.5" will go on all 4 sides. Tire Rack also states that these wheels are light weight. not as light as comps but close. I say get them.

Partick, did you ever get these wheels? I'm considering the same for my car.

No I ended up getting Fikse FM-10's. I still think they would look hot on a black FD

PalmTreeDoc

Nice. Please post pics.

I am trying to decide between the Fikse Mach V and Fikse FM-10 and the SSR GT7. My car is silver.

Pat what did you do with your stockers? Im in the market for a second set if they have some decen tire tread left on the tires.

Let me know if you are interested in selling.

Pat,
The Fikse's look great, I was sorry to see them go (but not sorry that i don't have to polish them again).... Thats such an agressive fitment, especially in the rear... i love it.

I see you still are using the front S02's, what did you do for rears?

patfat

They are the same worn out tires. I have four new tires that I had planned on mounting before the Audi event at VIR, but I laid down my bike Saturday am and broke my collar bone and tore up my left side of the body. So I didn't get time to mount or go to the event...

I plan on mounting Yokohama's A032R.

Steve, I do have the stockers and the also have A032R's on them. The tires have two VIR track days on them. They have a ton of tread left.
