Love your wheels - what are the specs on the width, offset, etc? Did you buy directly from Fikse?

Re: GTA mesh style alternative?

I bought directly from fikse, want to say it cost $3165 for the set. Right now it is 18x10 rears and 18x8 fronts. I am going to rebarrel them. The rears need to come out a little bit and I am going to widen the front to a 9". I will dig through my emails to see if I have the specs still.

I've been looking at these. 5x120.65 50mm offset. 240.00ea. Any ideas on the spacers I'll need? (2"?)

I guess that it has already been deleted, posted that a while ago.

Probably better to report the post than just posting nonsense into the thread, in the future

He's right, though. Replying to the spambots post don't do anything, the spambot won't ever read them.

Re: GTA mesh style alternative?

I'm not a computer wiz, all I have is my phone. .. I don't know who is real or a bot. I posted hoping that a moderator ( ya know the people responsible for the content ), would look into the problem & rectify it.
I'll try to figure out how I can report this kind of action in the future.
Thanks, an old school carb guy.

Re: GTA mesh style alternative?

We Moderators (unpaid volunteers) don't read every post in every thread. I only really read threads that are interesting to me and I am pretty most of the other mods do the same. When someone reports a post it actually sends us an e-mail letting us know there is an issue. It doesn't really matter if it's a person or a spam bot, if you want a moderator to take a look at something, reporting it is by far the best way.

I personally don't use a smart phone, so I am not 100% sure how the site appears to you. Though saying that, I checked the site on my tablet and I can't see how to report a post, either. I will see what I can find out about that.

Re: GTA mesh style alternative?

Thanks, I am not trying to get smart with anyone, I'm just not sure how to go about reporting those kinds of situations. So any help would be appreciated

Re: GTA mesh style alternative?

RPM 505. 18x9 rear 18x8 front. I bought them used for dirt cheap and painted them. If I was shopping for new I would have went with 18x9 all around.

Just today I took an old set of 88-90 IROC center caps, glued a new set of thirdgen WS6 center cap emblems in, and then used silicone to glue the caps into the wheels. Looks factory, I don't have pix yet.
