Just received the Fikse FM 5's today, and they look terrific. 18"s all around. 1" lip up front and 3" lip for the rears. T

Very nice wheels Tony! Hows the paint coming?

FLYVMO

Sweet!!

Awesome looking wheels Tony. I am drooling. What are the widths?
Just keep in mind to rinse off any brake pad dust from that clear lip, as it will otherwise leave a really hard to remove stain if left for a prolonged time. Don't ask me how I know

Want, FM5s, BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!! What is the coating/paint on the centers?

Primer for now, fill in & more block sanding & then it's onto paint. Front rims are: 18 x 8.5 with 57mm offsets, mounted on Conti Extreme 245/40ZR-18's. Rears are: 18 x 11 with 64mm offsets mounted on Conti Extreme 285/35ZR-18's. Wanted to go with just a little taller sidewall as not to damage the rims, better ride quality, etc. The Conti Extremes came in at the highest rating on Tire Rack & there were plenty of personal reviews for low noise, quality, price, etc. The outer wheel rim is polished, & the outer wheel face is coated in silver metallic with a durable aircraft-grade Imron polyurethane coating. This tire/rim package looks even better than we would have imagined. Super glad with the rim/tire choice after losing some sleep over this. Well worth the wait for this custom order. T

Tony you're GTS is going to look awesome! Seriously the color and wheels are great choices and will look spectacular. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Some more long block sanding, a little more primer & then the door sills, inside doors, rear hatch opening, etc, I was told will be painted by Wed, 12/29. Larry could not find a replacement windshield anywhere. One phone call to Roger took care of that. Really pushing to make it up to the big Jan 8th Austin Shark Gathering event in Round Rock, TX. T

It is going to be tight but a solid all out effort will get you up here! Hope you can make it but we will see you Feb if not Jan.

The color you selected reminds me a lot of Tahoe Blue Metallic:

Don't let them sacrifice quality in order to make Jan 8th! I wan to see it as badly as anyone but Feb. or March will work.
