what sizes offsets and tires sizes are you guys running and do you track your car? i'm deciding between 17 and 18's not sure yet..i was gonna call fikse but never had a chance..any input?

 

My FM/5s were 17x8.5 +37 (front), and 17x10 +43 (rear), however, Fikse will make any width and offset you want.

 

Stern not made in Japan anymore. owned by Golden apple, makers of ADR and RS limited.
HRE not race wheel IMO either.

Fikse and Kinesis rule there.

Work for great pricing and very wide offset range depending on the wheel. A lot will come down to budget, weight, and lead time.

What kind of pricing have you found on what you're looking for?

this is what i got quoted on

18x8.5 - 935 each
18x10 - 1037 each
lug nuts - 60
shipping - 125


grand total of 4784.35 usd..not bad i think..

 

Jesus, that's a lot of loot! And that doesn't even include tires and mounting and balancing?! You're looking at over 5 and a half when all is said and done! I bought my Fikses used for a third of that, but I guess you must be ballin' to want to rock those! Post pics when you get 'em!

 

Wow that's mad loot. I remember when fikse was hooking us RX people up at a super great deal on 17's. I miss that. Ever since it's been crazy expensive. I'll call Fikse and get all their pricing etc...

Here are some pics of what the FM-10s look like on my black FD. These are 17x9 with 255/40 Toyo Proxes T1s (all 4 corners). I still have a set of stock rims with 245/45 BFG's, and the Fikse/Toyo combo is actually lighter.

 

Oops forgot, here's one more:

Hey Crispy, that's one of the reasons why I sold my Fikses. I got sick and tired of spending a lot of time cleaning them! I'll never go with polished wheels again!

 

great pics everyone, here are some more:

 

Goddamn. That car looks awesome.. Blue and Grey FDs are Def my favorites.

 

ok well i will most likely be getting them the day i get my fd. i have the loot..just looking for the right fd..and that i have the money for now too..i'm just very perticular about the wheels. i work at a garage so rubber i get at a different price still gonne be expensive..and balancing..free...so i will let you know the minute i get them. i was gonna get all black rims..but thats just gonna be too much black..i have a feeling i will be joing the 3rd gen section very soon though..in a couple of weeks..


p.s. both of those cars look sooo sexy!

 

BTW lower pic of the blue car (RXJJang) your left rear tire is flat

SpeedKing: FWIW the cleaning was necessary because, in short, they had NEVER been really cleaned before after many many years of track use/abuse. And anyone who's used race compound brake bads knows what brake dust from these pads can do to wheels if it isn't cleaned off relatively quickly. I haven't polished them since this cleaning and they still look pretty decent. But I agree, AL wheels that aren't coated can be a real PITA to keep looking nice.

Crispy
