Fikse FM/5 look alikes?

I want some wheels that look similar to Fikse FM/5s but for less money. I want to get the center powder coated black too. I want to spend up to $2500, tops. Preferably 17x9.5 because I already have tires for that, but something similar will do (17").
Thanks guys

Thanks guys, I found these (dont really look like fikse) and like em. I think they would look good on my car, just get the wheel powder coated black (except for rim). What do you all think?

Or these, also get them powder coated black

mystic...you and I definitely have similar taste. The first wheel in your last post is the ROH Snyper. I had these on my old TA, and on my current TA before I got the timeless 2's. Check my "pics" link in my sig for pics of both cars.
I also sent the wheels off to get the face polished, and the inside of the wheel and the sides of the spokes powdercoated black...
good luck!
(I'd still have the Snypers if you could get them in 17x11's)

Ya, we do. Love the current wheels you have. How much did you pay for those? And, the Snypers, are they all 17x11s? How did they fit in the front?
You ever go on Autopia.org? If not you should take a look at the forum, I think you'll like it, its a detailing forum. My screen name is Pontman43 on there.

Thanks for the compliments! The current Boyd wheels cost me <$2000 brand new, for a 17x9.5/17x11 set...that was 2 years ago though.

The Snypers were all 17x9.5. They didn't come in 17x11...

I have lurked on Autopia some, haven't really contributed to any discussions over there. There's definitely a *ton* of information there! I'll look for you next time I lurk though.

Re: Fikse FM/5 look alikes

How much would you want for the Snypers, and why did you want new ones? And where did you get the BCs from? And ya, look me up on autopia, I post a lot on there. I posted pics of my TA in the click and brag section a while ago and now its on like page 2, so you can post there. The title reads "Slowly detailing my Trans Am for the show" I think. lol

I don't have the SNypers anymore...I sold them when I got the Timeless 2's. The main reason I wanted new ones was that I wanted to run a 17x11 out back, and you can't get the snypers in that size.
I got the BC's from discounttiredirect...
laters...
