do you guys think that these wheels (Fikse Profil 5) in 18 or 19 inches would look nice on the tc.

i know from back in the days when i wanted an f body, that fikse custom makes their wheels to a customers specs.

the cash would be money well spent imo. they are light weight and truly bad arse.

I like smaller spokes personally and if you can find a shot of the wheel showing it from the side and not at an angle i could see it much better and maybe someone could even photochop it on to a tC.

Fikse makes some great wheels. You might want to consider Kinesis if you are planning to spend that kind of money, they also custom build very beautiful wheels.

If you still want custom, but don't want to spend $5k, consider CCW. They are also individually made to fit and a lot cheaper, but some people don't care for the styling.

That looks better than i expected it to. not something I would buy for mine but I wouldn't tell you it looks bad.

They don't look bad. I have 5 spokes on mine and I like them. You'll have to remember that your brake rotors are much smaller though

When rims cost 1/2 of what the car costs - there is something wrong here...

it could be worse, people spend 3x more than their civics cost to "tune" and they still come out multi colored one seet traps that run 17s in the 1320. ive seen it happen to friends. it realy is sad.

as mucha s i despise getting knockoff stuff, 500a wheel is way too much for me, u can find knockoffs of the advans, the rota attack is nice and is MUCH MUCH cheaper. rotas arent too shabby either, nothing special but a cheap light wheel.
