:eek: my older brother just picked up 17X9.5 & 17X11 inch FM5's powder coated black. the back tires are 335/35/17 :bow: They are nasty!! They are 1 1/2" wider than the 315 nittos that he had on the 17X11 ZR1's. My hat is off to you older bro. Those wheels are sick!!

IMO, FM/5s are the best looking wheel ever made (well, no other wheel looks better on an F-body).

I'd probably agree with you Nate...but on the right car, black wheels look damn good. There was a nice black '98-'02 SS with black FM/5s (silver lip/rim) in GMHTP a few issues ago...looked perfect IMO.

Way nicer...www.fikse.com/fm5.html
Way more expensive though.
i was curious at work one day and got my price on the 18x9.5's and 18x10.5's in black
$4100 just for the wheels :o
i feel bad for people that end up paying full price:eek: (bout $5k+)

Well this is my car that SnakeatinZ is talking about. I can't wait to get some pics of. The 335s have been doing perfectly with absolutely no rubbing or scraping.
Pics should be up this evening with a pretty Texas Lake backdrop.

You can find used sets, these wheels have been out for years now, I still say they are one of the best looking F-body wheels ever. Any case some one ban this guy for not posting pictures, thats a terrible way to play with peoples minds.
