A staggering 28lbs front and 33lbs rear -- they were boat anchors in their previous life.

Jack, Thanks for the prompt response, I see you put the 04 style on your car, what are you impressions over the so called anchors?

The '04 wheels are about 4-5 lbs lighter per corner. I think I can feel the difference in unsprung weight, but it could be wishful thinking. I do like them, especially the rear 12" wheel with it's "concave" look...

I found a SUCKER to buy the Fikses -- only kidding Watt.

I decided to go less bling (for the time being) on the GT2 and I'm just NUTS for wheels. It's all Shank's fault.

The lord of the Blings [Jack] realised the fikses look better on a dark car, way too blingadino on silver.... he even took off his custom vavlestem hre's....

and they do look better on slate.... but slate looks better than artic even with boat anchors! no amount of bling will help Jack -- you need a new car!!!!!

Wattster: Actually Slate is the bastard child of Silver -- Silver looks much better and it's faster....

I guess Seal falls somewhere in between silver and the bastard child...
