Does anyone have pics of Fikse FM5 - SIMILAR wheels?

[Sonik Blur]

I want a set of 18" Fikse FM5 wheels but they are CRAZY expensive. Do you have pics of wheels that real close to the FM5's but cheaper? Here's a pic of the wheels in question....

Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure they went bankrupt and/or belly up.

EDIT:

Sorry; appears they already got bought and are shooting for a March 1 relaunch.

Also, if you want something that looks *similar* to the FM5 without the arm/leg/left nut cost associated...look into TrueForged Sleepers WITHOUT the reverse outer rim section; just use regular stepped lips like the Fikse and ta-da.

I was going to suggest the same thing. TF Sleepers look very close to FM5's, but have a deep dish instead of a stepped lip which I like better. I foget whether they can do an 18's with a stepped lip, but I know they can do 17's.

I've always been in love with FM5's since owning an Fbody before my Cobra. I'm actually leaning towards getting the Sleepers again over the Victories.

I can't wait to get Fikse FM5's on my SS!! I don't think I've ever seen another brand wheel that looks like FM5's.

I've been told my rims look similar to the FM5. American Racing Rebel's 17x9.

The thing is almost every wheel you will find will have curved spoke ends. The FM5's are virtually flat-faced, which gives it a little different look one way or the other.

Not liking em for some reason... are they really light or something?

They are about as light as any forged wheel on the market or maybe a bit lighter. I think the FM5s weigh like 18-19lbs a wheels in 18s.

They look great on silver cars.

My brother just scored a set of FM5s with tires for his Z06 for $1800.
