Rocketman Why do you want to get another wheel? Personally, I like the Racing Hart C2s better stay with them!

You haven't seen really wide, clean FM/10's in real life

I've seen people get hypnotized by them!

awesome! Is that the regular finish (techni-polish)? The FM/10 is exactly the style I am leaning towards. Been thinking about the race satin anodized finish, but not sure how that would look.

You probably haven't read my sad thread about having the wrong offsets on the C2's and it is causing my tires to hit the fender lips. Skipping a lot of details, the final story on this is that the distributor (DAZZ) is going to take the wheels back and issue a full credit. To get the correct offset for C2's means special order and two month delivery. All of this was done thru my dealer and I think DAZZ just doesn't want to have to deal with them anymore (I don't either for that matter, at least not on this). There is a very good tire/wheel dealer in my area that has helped me out on this and recommended fikse. Fikse WILL GUARANTEE THE FIT! Fikse is a U.S. company and may have stock on the wheel I want in the correct offset. And RT just sealed the deal with his pic - you should get a commission, RT

In fact, I should have gotten paid for developing the fitment for them.
Oh, wait a minute, I did, I got the wheels at cost

the tire/wheel dealer I have been working with has been talking directly to fikse. First time he checked (couple of weeks ago) they said

18x8F, 18x9R +48mm offset front and rear
running 225/40 front, 255/35 rear

he is double checking fitment and price for me; I will talk to him again tomorrow morning

RT and rocketman, a friend of mine has the FM 10s on his silver NSX. Probably the nicest set of wheels I've ever seen. I'm thinking seriously about getting them for my S2K and I would be interested in your offset and fitment info. Please email it to me. jlieber@home.com Thanks.
