Wheels are on the car! The fronts came in at 43.8 lbs compared to 51.8 lbs for the old setup. With a total 26.8 lbs unsprung weight off the car I cannot weight to see how it drives. I only did a loop around my block because a big rain storm was headed my way.

Nice! Thanks for sharing. They almost look like Fiske; not sure how they compare price wise, but it is a nice look for our cars! Good job researching and selecting.

Thank you all for the compliments. The FM5 is one of my favorite wheels (for any car). However, there are so many of them out there and I wanted something a little different. I also wanted a concave spoke in the rear as apposed to a lip. Very happy with the end results.

Bob Leitzinger, David Long, and Butch Leitzinger. I drove a 1991 240sx fastback in college & have had that poster ever since. I need some LT5 artwork for the garage!
