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.

Demps, they are for sale. I paid $1000 for them and that is my price.

Sgreg,
Did someone intentionally misrepresent what you were purchasing? |

Re: Back to the future/Fikse FM/5 wheels
They're nice looking wheels. I thought that the front offset was the same as a regular C4 though? Not ZR-1 specific.

Re: Back to the future/Fikse FM/5 wheels
I'll take the fifth on this question. Guy tried to help me and he did run these on the front of his Z. But, 11 inch fronts are not my preference.

Re: Back to the future/Fikse FM/5 wheels
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).
