Default FS Fikse FM5 993 Fitment Rims/Tires

Just in case anyone missed this. I'm selling a very nice set of Fikse FM5 993 narrow body rims finished in anodized silver with tires.

Fronts 17 x 8 with brand new never used Dunlop Direzza Z1 235/45/17 tires

Rears 17 x 10 with brand new never used Dunlop Direzza Z1 265/40/17 tires

$2000 prefer local NY Metro pickup. Will ship at purchasers expense.

Thanks,

Dan

Question for the 993 crowd? Seems odd that I put my tire/wheel package up for sale and there have been no takers at the price point of half of what they cost new. Are the Fikse FM5 rims not desirable by the 993 owners? If they were FM10's would they be gone??

Thanks,

Dan

It's the fact that they are 17s. Most of 993 crowd has gone to 18" wheels.

I was seriously thinking about these but I just got a new set of Z1s this August for my 18" wheels and it'll probably be a good year or two till they wear out the way i put so few miles on the car.

And IMHO the non-standard tire sizes may put the 17" crowd off. You might have better luck trying to sell the wheels without those tires.

I have both FM10's and FM5's and vastly prefer the look of the FM10's but they are a MAJOR pain to clean so FM5's make better track wheels as a weekend gets them pretty scuzzy!

I would agree they would probably sell faster in 18's and without tires.

Overall any FIKSE wheel is great merchandise!

The tire sizes would actually work very well on a 993. If the price continues to go down i might snap them up.

Thanks everyone, certainly appreciate your input. I certainly understand going down the 18's road. Did it on my 964 and for me was not very happy. Found the car trammed more and the ride a lot harsher due to less side wall and higher air pressures.

I think what I'll do is break down the wheels as suggested and sell the rims and tires separately.

If you have 17s they are 17x7 and 9 stock
