    Fikse Profil 5, methinks. In the perfect offset at the perfect ride height. Well done, @tres55!

    Those are awesome. The Profil 5 and FM5 are in my top 10 favorite wheels. I think everything I ever put in a Forza garage had either one or the other. Added with that blue, that is one beautiful car.

    As others have mentioned they are Fikse Profil5s in 19".

    Offsets and widths I posted somewhere in this subforum a while back. Don't have them handy right now.

    Do you have a sound clip of this setup?
    I'm trying to decide on his straight pipes or valved mufflers.

    @TJsBeer i love blue pozzi. This past year some hard searching for @climbernyc resulted in an excellent find for him when he also acquired a blue pozzi 550.

    Jeff, what method did you use to find yours was it a private sale or dealership?

    I see it’s stable mate is a blue pozzi FF ....fantastic!

    I would install the headers first, only with the H-pipes.
    I'm sure you will not need anything else.

    They come with heat shields. Mine do not have blankets and seem to do fine.

    Additionally, reducing the number of cats from 6 to 2 reduces the heat tremendously.

    I found the 550 on FChat. It wasn't for sale. So I had to pay up for it.
    The FF I got from Miller Mororcars.
    I'm currently working on a gated Blu Pozzi 360 spider. It's not for sale. Just trying to convince the owner that I "need" it.

    @tazandjan does your remote look like this?

    this is a car for sale. I don’t think it has his headers and if it does not then I’ll share more info on the car....

    Just saw this, sorry. Looks like you already ordered a system from Fabio. I think you'll be very happy with results.

    Unfortunately I do not yet have a good sound clip. Will try do one once the roads are clean enough around here to get my 550 out. I have the rear straight pipes, they are loud, but not obnoxiously so IMO. But I like a loud exhaust anyway, as long as it sounds good.

    Love your 550's Blu Pozzi/Red interior combo, btw!

    Did this ever get resolved? I am having similar symptoms and it is getting very frustrating. Rough idle and nagging CEL issues
