what wheels are these???

[axles of evil]

saw this as a customer car on the diftechnics site. these wheels are totally badass. im just wondering if anyone knows what they are.... and if you can use them to fit 275s without cutting or rolling.

Thats DiffTechnics own car. You could PM them and ask. Alot of the aussie Monaro's use aussie brand wheels that I personally know nothing about.

i figured thatd be the major snag. being that for whatever reason australian wheels dont make it to mass market here in the US.... but damn that thing is hot.

thanks for the info, ill PM them and ask.

I agree, the wheels are hot!

Fikse wheels don't have rivets.

oh wow, after seeing your guesses at what they are, i checked out fikse and simmons and looks like theyll custom make wheels just like CCW... AWESOME news as i like the fikse fm-5 way more than any wheels ive seen so far.

thanks guys.

now i just need the necessary info to get a quote/estimate on the cost... any guesses on what a set of 18x10s out back and 18x8 up front would be ?

wow... 4grand plus for a set of wheels, no tires... i really like the wheels, but with the money ill be making, and the money id have to spend, i think id rather see if i can get some CCW classics to fit out back.

Bigger than stock for sure, but certainly not "enormous". They may appear to be HUGE but it's only because the center portion of rim is small. Some manufactures of 2 & 3 pieces wheels use the same "centers" on their 18's as they do for their 16 and 17" rims. The barrels are simply stepped to make a taller wheel.

Case and point... check out the car directly above. We all know how puny stock '04 brakes are, but with this type of wheel they look halfway respectable... it's the small centers!
