It's on the 575MM. I know it's gonna be made in 19" but I think the base rim will be 18" with this as an option. Not sure if the 18" will be that style though as no one seems to have pics of it. | ||

Bruce, Now I have and they are nice with classy/sporty look. Too bad about the other wheels, if that's all they carry I beleive it. Like CA. it's getting more ricey by the year and these guys like to race any where they can. Been some problems in the Seattle area. Joe  | ||

Bruce, That line about divorce sure sounds familiar��� Good luck with the rims. FIKSE is located up here. If you need a recon let me know and I'll go up and check it out for you. Joe | ||

I can't seem to download any pictures due to the fact that they are over 150 kilobytes. I do not know how to downsize the pictures | ||

hi billy thanks for the info, i myself dont like the pirelli p-zeros but do like the pilot sports, a little pricey but the best..a little lighter as being the rim?? also, fikse rims, are they on the internet? i live in nj.do you have a picture of them..have you ever seen the barchetta 550? thanks for your help.. regards, bruce | ||

Bruce, it made the biggest difference in the world cosmetically and handling wise. First they are a lot lighter. If I remember correctly I put 9x18 in the front w/245/40/18 tires and in the rear 11x18 w/ 295/40/18. I went with Michelin Pilot sports and have not regretted it. Did not like the pirellis too much, (make too much noise and not comfortable as the Michelins).They are Fikse rims | ||

Billy changed his to 18"s. It is sweet as hell. I'm gonna switch over my car to 18"s when I have some time and money (after this whole rebuild thing). | ||
