Default Back to the future/Fikse FM/5 wheels

After nearly 3 and 1/2 weeks, the UPS man dropped the Fikse wheels on my front step. I nearly tripped getting to the door to open them. I am saved, I thought, Christmas is going to be extra nice !! Some of you may remember I was trying to buy two front ZR-1 offset 9.5 inch Fikse FM/5 wheels. The holy grail of C-4 wheels in my opinion. A very nice member agreed to sell me two but unfortunately when I opened the box I had two very nice 11 inch Fikses. Soooooo, does anyone have two front ZR-1 offset 9.5 inch Fikses to sell ? Please PM me if you do. and Merry Christmas to all.

Sgreg,

Did someone intentionally misrepresent what you were purchasing?

They're nice looking wheels. I thought that the front offset was the same as a regular C4 though? Not ZR-1 specific.

You sure they aren't 10" wheels and you are including the bead in the measurements? If the absolute width of the wheel is 11", it is probably a 17x10" wheel.

17x10's would work just fine on the front and may give you a little extra brake clearance (though with the random way Fikse seems to offset the spokes, who the hell knows).

They measure 11 inches where the tire seats and 12 inches at the top of the flange. So I feel they are 11 inches officially. I would not feel comfortable using stock size front tires (275-40-17) on an 11 inch wheel. I thing they could walk in heavy turning situations. Prior to all this I bought a full set of standard Z sized GY's to mount. So I really don't feel like buying more new tires right now. About the guy that has more money than sense; I have no money left and no sense, apparently.
