This car isn't white, but I think it looks good nonetheless.

they are fikse wheels on the black camaro at the top of the page also (first pic)

I gotta set of Fikse FM10s in my garage. found them at a local hock shop...either they didnt know what theyre worth or theyre stolen, but i got them all 4, in awesome shape for $400 candian... for 17x10.5 and 17x9....only problem is they dont fit f-bodies...but they fit newer stangs and some other stuff

they are an old set of American Racing wheels. They are called Le Mans XS or something. These wheels used to be on John Leblancs 4th gen Z28. He owns the company MBA billet products. His car was once featured in GMHTP and the wheels where all polished onhis car. I have since painted them black. I like the black but it doenst show the design of the wheel in some pics and in some poses in real life. Once my Z06 brakes are on, maybe the bright rotors will show the details of the wheels a bit more.

Oh and dont mind the rusty stock rotors and dirt. the car hasnt been driven in about 2 years....major modifications have been taking place., I am still deciding weather or not to paint the centercaps chrome and get chrome lug covers of just put the black caps back on the lugs. I need suggestions

the wheels are discontinued. they made these in the mid to late 90's sometime and there where not many made. the specs on them are the same as the Zr1 grand sport wheels. I am unsure of the actual specs as far as backspacing and all. The backs are 11" wide though

The wheels will look 10000 times better when I actually spend some time on them and shine them up. The pic shows a very dirty wheel. The lip needs a serious polish and the inner part is dirty.
