What ones?

[baz67]

Ok I have it narrowed down to these two.http://www.fikse.com/profil5s.html and http://www.uswheel.com/bonspeed/imag...ls/delta30.jpg I know there is around a grand difference in price. That is a factor, but not a deal breaker. I guess all things being equal and cost not being a factor what ones would you guys chose and why.

Thanks again,
Brian

Personally, I think the Fikse wheels would most likely go better with the paint choice you've made. Unless you want the wheels to outshine everything. Then again, that's my opinion and I ----> :Alcy:

Im at a loss without seeing the car, but the fikse rims look cool.

[JamesD]

its a hard call. i love fikses, but the deltas look pretty good too. the chevelle that HotRod did on the power tour had the deltas but black powder coated and they looked real good. but in the end i'd probably go with the fikses.

I like the Fikse's personally. :3gears:

[mdprovee]

I like the Fiske also. Just my 2 cents.

Bonspeeds for sure. Fiske has become a wanna-be wheel, in other words everybody is breaking the bank to have "the mule" wheels and I beleive it's because of the magazine coverage from Stielow. I have seen stone stockers with cut coils and Fiske's claiming to be "pro-tour". Fiske builds a real nice wheel but I like the Bonspeeds better.

I'm going to have to agree with Denny, I hang around with a lot of guys that drive BMW's and I can't tell you how many times I've seen that wheel or HRE's on top of that. Go with the Bonspeed and be a little different. I'm using thiswheel , and I'm sure some of you have seen it before, plus the whole set only cost me 650 bucks.

Fikse, unless the other are cheaper, they are similar enough for the second ones curves to grow on me with little time needed...

ahhhh, the HP Racing "lightning"..........those are sweet!

[cjhutch]

I got in contact with the guy, for those that want to know a set of four 18x8 are $550 and the staggered pattern of 18x8 front and 18x9 rear are $598.

I "HAD" the Fikse profil5's in the polished finish.Apparentley everybody enterd the shop where my car was made a comment on how nice they looked.

[nitrovette]

i like the fiske profil5's better

[XcYZ]

It comes down to personal preference I guess, but the Fikse are 3 piece forged wheels and the Bonspeed are your typical billet welded wheel (that look damn good, BTW).

I say Fikse.

[zbugger]

Dammit.... I didn't get any pictures because it was too pretty, but I think that those are the same wheels that Vince Davie is running on his 71.... Damn nice too.

[StRacerDuke]

I'm with J.T.
Where did you get that price on the Wheels? You know something that we should? Teach us oh wise one...

[cjhutch]

The wheels are the ones that Jon that now works for Budnik was using on his 69 camaro and I believe 2000 Camaro SS. I fell in love when I saw them. The bolt pattern is actually for a BMW, but it's very close to the GM 5x4.75 bolt pattern, so close that it actually bolted right up. I don't have the wheels on the car yet, but they looked great when I did a test fit. I also had to buy some spacers to fix the offset. All together I spent $955.00 to get these wheels to fit my car. Not bad considering they are 18x8 and weigh only 27lbs. Now for the good stuff. The wheels are made by HP Racing and are called the Evo. I purchased them from a guy on eBay who has a company that's a distributor for HP Racing. I will see if I contact him for those interested. If interested just shoot me an email so I won't have to hijack the post.

they are 18x8 and weigh only 27lbs.

How do the weights of the Bonspeeds compare to the Fikses? My rear C5 "wagon wheels" are 18x9.5 and only weigh 21 lbs. Brian, at the prices you're looking at you have to think about more than looks. Can either wheel be repaired if a rim is bent(replaceable rims)? I know the CCW wheels can have the rims replaced for a lower price than a new wheel. Just my .02.
