That's a great look. From the side shot, I have a hard time telling the difference from the OEM GT3 wheel (my fav. OEM wheel).

Three Wheelin'
My C4S has the OEM GT3RS wheel. It looks very cool. It is also very heavy. See my avatar to the left.
If I were doing it again I would buy the forged modular wheels from Fikse. They look just as cool and they are lighter and modular. IE, you can repair them if they get into a scrape or accident, or hit a pothole or a curb. The lighter weight benefits both acceleration and braking in a way that you feel in the seat of your pants. To repair, Fikse will swap out the inner or outer barrel of the wheel and it will come back all but new at a fraction of the price of a new wheel. I have Fikses on my BMW and they have been wonderfully functional, light and great looking. They clean up very well and look new.
Because they are forged, you actually polish them with products from http://www.englishcustompolishing.com.
I have had them all repaired at one time or another. Champions look cool and light, too. But you don't have to baby the forged Fikse wheel.

My BMW has the five spoke version of these.
This looks a little more modern.
If you have the budget, Fikse is ready when you are.

Those front fender extensions look great.... I know they are a lot of money but in that picture really shows how pronounced they are.... Just wish they made a matching rear set to create a full semi wide body look.
have you ever seen anything like that? Really shocked nothing like that exists as just do not seem like it would be that insane to farbricate.
