Thats the one.The thing I dont like about the Fikse wheels is the center protrudes past the drop center of the wheel hoop.Ive talked to the Fikse rep and Phil has the correct offset with the least amount of dish on the back wheel that these wheels can have on a ZR-1.If I can push the center to where its almost flush with the drop center that might work for me.Im thinking about the Profil 10 with a complete brushed finish.Hell...................I dont know what I want.

Jeff,
That is his old set... He has a new set of FM10's that are 18' front and 19' rear.
345 30 19's in the rear.
Yes I have wheel envy!!!!

I share your view on not liking protruding centers. To correct this I specified 1/2" deeper outer wheel shells. Here are the ordering specs I used:
Profil 10 centers with clear coated Technipolish finish.
Fronts - 18" x 10" with 57mm offset, 1.5" mirror polished outer wheel shells, 8.5" standard finish inner wheel shells.
Rears - 19" x 12" with 38mm offset, 2.5" mirrow polished outer wheel shells, 9.5" standard finnish inner wheel shells.

Phil,the second set is what Im looking for but with a brushed or anodized barrel.Dan also told me it might be possible to have the small divots deleted from the wheel.Heres the deal,in order to have both front and rear wheels with a matching face depth in the barrel I will have to use my 16MM spacers but at this point Im still in the lets see what will fit stage.Id like to get a set of 18-10,18-12s but just now doing some digging.Id like to sell these GS wheels but Im not going to give them away so storage it is.
These are a different style of Fikse's, 18's 10F & 12R.
Not a great photo.

Jerry,are those brushed or anodized?
Actually, they are bright, machined, no clear coat. It was very overcast & for some reason they do look anodized.

Kinda makes it look like a C5. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Thanks to all that helped me with the Fikse info.Phil,your car looks great with the second set of wheels,the offset is just what I was looking for.I needed to sell the GS wheels,that didnt happen,not a so much a need for the cash but just dont have the room for another set of wheel sitting in the garage.Jerry,love the brushed looked on those wheels.Thanks again everybody.
