Default Well I did it Fikse Profil 13s on order.

After talking to Matt Fikse and Will Anthis at Fikse they talked me into a set of Profils. They will be SpeedSilver Dark (Anthracite) on the centers with polished outter rims on my GT Silver car. Should look devilish. Will post pics and story in about a month.
I went to 18s and as much as I love the Cups I went with 245 40 315 30 Sport 2s
this time.

Congrats.
Funny how so many of us are 'downgrading' to 18inch rims.

I have had Fikse for 8 years. My last set I got back in 2005 or 06. Can't remember. I have the S5 with black center and polished outer.

Can't wait to see them OG, good choice with the Fikses. I think your description of how they will look on your car is dead on! Congrats.

I have the center caps in black as well. Did you tell them you wanted them in anodized? Make sure you do.

Rob do the center caps come with the wheels? Anodized instead of what? powder coat?
