Wanted - Fikse Classic FM5s with ZR1 offset for 1991 Corvette ZR1

[jmglyder]

Hello,

If you know of someone that has a set of Fikse FM5s with ZR1 offset I would be interested. In fact, I am looking for two sets for two different ZR1s. Son and I both have 1991 ZR1s. Please let me know.

thank you!

Rare as hens teeth in the ZR-1 Offset. The chances of finding 2 sets will be seriously next to impossible. However the good news is Fikse is still going after a recent reorg see link below. I know your pain although it took me 5 years to find the set I have been running on my car. I always get compliments on these wheels.

Hey Daryll,

My Dad (jmglyder above) called Fikse yesterday and it looks like they are being made again in the ZR-1 offset. Still expensive though. He was looking for sets for both of us.

Your car looks great by the way!

$3500/set

I contacted Fikse yesterday and they quoted me for 17" $849 each for the front and $899 each for the rear. 18" are $100 more per wheel.

That's about right. You stated ZR-1 offsets. Are you wanting to keep with OEM ZR-1 sizes? I went with the Profil 5's a little bigger than stock sizes:dancing
Good luck finding a used set!

I didn't know about the Profil 5's. I just looked at them on the Fikse site. What sizes do you have?

18x10's up front and 19x12's out back. Couple of guys on this forum are running this size. The Profil's have some more material removed during the forging process in order to be lighter but still retain the strength. It's getting hard to find good brand new tires in OEM sizes and I'm not really one for keeping her stock so I choose to go this route.

Yep that about right with the 18 inches it might give your more tire options and flexibility when running a big brake upgrade. However I was able to fit a pair of 6 Piston narrow lite wilwoods under my 17 inch Fikses :cheers:

Great wheels. Best of luck with your decision.

Thanks Matt your pop is right that's why I included the link. Mine are an old set and had the words Fikse Forged on the center caps and serial numbers on the wheels. Let me tell you about Fikse... I bought my set used I called to order some large O rings because some of mine were dry rotted they ( Fikse) asked for the serial numbers and I gave them to me and they said wow those are some old wheels. They said they would send me the O rings for free these seal in the center caps btw. The guy on the phone said no problem a few days later they showed up with a pair of brand new Fikse Forge Center caps all for free. Outstanding customer service. :cheers:

Thanks Daryll. Sounds like a great wheel made by a great company.

Yeah Matt, it was just sheer luck I was able to pick up my FM5's used from a member, this offset is very difficult to find. I love my wheels but it will be very difficult finding new rubber in 335's in 17", everyone is going 18/19's.

Hi Rich - you make a great point regarding the 17's.
