Looking for Pics of 951s with Fikse or Forgeline Wheels
I'm planning on putting either Fikse (leaning towards the FM10) or Forgeline wheels (leaning towards the WC3) on my '66 Turbo S and would like to see some pictures of these wheels on our cars - especially in the various finishes that are available from these two sources.
I did find a few previous posts but due to the age of the threads the pictures were no longer available.
Thanks much.

Raagi,
The Red 951 is David Salamas' car, he is a rennlister here in charlotte, and he also happens to have a set of CCW track wheels, seen here...

Here is my car w/ Fikses FM10 . . . 17x8 and 17x10. Polished lips with anodized centers.
I like them a lot <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" /> , best thing ever bought for this car. Color of car is Azure Blue. Since these pictures were taken, the rear suspension has been tweaked and the car sits lower and more level.

Rick,
Just out of curiousity, is there any reason that you're not considering Kinesis wheels in your search? When the funds become available, I'd like to go with either Fikse or Kinesis, and if you've got a reason to avoid Kinesis, I'm all ears.
Mike,
Nice car. How's the suspension coming along?

Jon,
I've heard, that on average, Kinesis wheels tend to weigh slightly more than Fikse. I know when I go to track events with my local PCA region, Fikse out numbers Kinesis by a margin of 6-7:1 if not more. Frankly, you can't go wrong with either as far as I'm concerned. I just like the look of the FM10 the best.
If money were no object, I'd have the magnesium center BBS rims(lighter than Fikse). Although the Mg wheels tend to not like street work so I hear, that must be taken into consideration.
As far as my suspension: New struts arrived from Moriss yesterday and shocks should have shipped this morning. When its all installed, I'll give a full review on Luke's original post.

Jon,
At the time, I favored the Fikse wheels slightly only because of the slight advantage in weight and liking their appearance a bit better.
I'm trying to decide whether to go with Fikse, Kinesis or Forgeline at this point. They're all great wheels but I'm leaning towards Forgeline at this point - they're relatively local to me and I can buy them much cheaper than Kinesis & Fikse.
Thanks.
