I was looking at some website and noticed the price on those Fikses. Was I reading it correctly, about $1200 per wheel?
The '5 Star' design is a classic on our cars though.

correct. They make some of the very best racing wheels available. Many pro Porsche teams run them.

I just bought a 951 that I'm going to pick up in a few days that the PO put a set of FM5's (the wheels in the picture) on about 6 months ago. I think he said he paid about $900 per and put Toyo RA1's all around.

I am looking at something with a larger spoke opening, but will see what I can do to take a look.

Also I already have BBS LMs (see below) and wanted something with more area between the Fikses.

think you should look at some Fikse's.
For those suggesting the FM5, I am not a huge fan of the 5 spoke wheels - don't know why, I just prefer some of the ones above.

If another 951 ends up with FM10s on them I.. well I dont know what I will do, but I will be pissed thats for sure. hah

I think there are many other options, that for your price range, look much better.

If you wanna give your car a different look from what you've got going on right now with some more space between your spokes, i think fikse mach v's seen in this picture would look good and fit the description of what you're looking for. And my bad on the 911 but at least it's a porsche in the pic.
