New FK wheels....What do you guys think?

I like them, seems like they're gunmetal with a pulished lip......



I have their suspension and I luv it, never even knew they made wheels. It seems like they make a lot of different parts and they're just coming to the US.

Not a fan. IMHO they look like knockoff Hartge Classics without the bolt pattern.

They look like the Konig Verdicts too.. I actually like them.

Looks like a high quality piece.

Arman: I'm looking into their coilover setup, I can get a good price so I'm happy. Do they actually make all of the components or do they just put their name on it? Is there anything else you can tell me about the coilovers?

They make all their stuff, shocks are ofcourse Konis. You MAY need to run spacers with your wheels all depending on the offset. I had to have spacers up front for the ACSs.

Yea I feel you on that, I do like the finish though, I guess thats whats making them look so good.

I am not a fan of the wheels. I like your car the way it is.

Get them and then sell me your old rims at a drastically reduced rate!!!

Seriously though, I like them. Nice, symetrical, and different. I also like the number of spokes. Not just five (or the star look), and not like classics or breyton magics that have alot of spokes. A BBK would look dead sexy with these.

Just my 2 cents.

I like them alot! They look like Hartge classics, which lookswise are one of my very favorite wheels (if they only didn't weigh so much...).

I would much prefer your ACS Type-III over the FK wheels

Arman, what size spacers do you run in front and back (if any)? I just finished my GC c/o install, and looking at some ACS Type-III myself. Do you have any rubbing issues?

I would never change my ACS wheels for anything I can't see anything looking better on my car, they just match Arctic so well.

I have 7mm (I think) ACS spacers in the rear, they came with the wheels. I have no spacers in the front. I do have the rear fenders rolled, and I have a 2" drop front and 1.5" rear, and no rubbing problems what so ever.

They remind me of MAS Italy Sagittas, which I like.

No, actually you're right, sorry....

I did use Spacers in FRONT only and NOT the rear.
