VOTE! Which of these two wheels do you prefer?

Easy question. Which of these two wheels do you prefer? I know it's not a 3rd gen, but I just sold mine and bought this car.

My new car with Fikse FM-10 17x9.5 wheels. (The car just made an 800 mile trip on a trailer in the rain, so it's dirty...)

Fikse FM-10's





My old car with American Racing Torq Thrust II 17x9.5 wheels.

AR TTII's



I may sell the FM-10's and have enough money to buy a new set of TTII's and tires with money to spare. These Fikse wheels are like $1000 each new

That first pic with the Fisk wheels rocks. Nice ride man. I'd stick with what you've got.

I can't see the first pic, but the TTIIs look good, but at the same time weird, maybe cause I've never seen them on a 4th Gen.

Mark,

Can you see it now? I think I was re uploading it when you looked.

Oh, and here's a pic right before I left the guys house in Wisconsin to head back to Arkansas with the car.

1600 mile round trip in 2 days. It took me 13 hours to get there, and 15 hours to get back. (I had a blow out on the trailer 7 miles north of Salem, Illinois on the way home, and had no spare. I had to disconnect the trailer and leave the car and trailer on the side of the road for 45 minutes while I went and got a new tire on the wheel.)



-Shawn

If you can afford them, the Fikses. If all of us had a budget of $500 per wheel, more of us would have them on our cars.

It's not a matter of budget with the Fikses for me. They were on the car when I bought it so the original owner is the one that paid for them

WOW...thanks for all the comments guys. I was expecting it to be a little closer in the voting, but it looks like the Fikses are winning out.

I initially wanted to get the TTII's before I saw the car in person, but the Fikses are growing on me. I think they look more "modern" and fit the look of the 94 better than the TTII's.

OOpps. I misspelled it.

I think I am going to keep the FM-10's, and see what Fikse will charge me to change them to a high polished finish. The owner of the car who put them on had them ordered in a complete anodized finish rather than the polished finish. I like the look of them polished, like the pic below:
