Finspeed F5, with spacers

I first came into contact with Daniel Finke of Finspeed while at COTA when I was running my GTR. After speaking with him about the company and their obsessively detailed engineering, I ordered a set within a few days. I loved those wheels so it was a natural choice when I wanted new rims for the M2c. Their customer service is excellent and poor Stacie had to endure a long barrage of emails from me. LOL

These are F5 models, satin black powdercoat, 19x9.5 and 19x10.5, oem offset, running a 10mm spacer in front and 5mm spacer in the rear given the camber of the TCK suspension. Oem Ps4 245/265 for now, because we had them laying around.

It's hard to get a good photo of them, and the concavity is lost when you look straight at the wheel so I tried to take a few 3/4 views.













I could not be happier with the look, finish, and fitment. I cant wait to run a 265/285 tire on it.

Thanks!

Of course, in my excitement to get them on I forgot to drop them on a scale. I can definitely say theyre lighter then the OEM wheels, but I will rip one off and weigh it this week.

A bit better picture. My wife took some on her SLR, so maybe the lighting will be better... I have the carbon rear winglets laying around... maybe I'll like them better with the black wheels... hmmmm

When I saw the loose wheel picture I didn't think it would look good, maybe too oldschool. But when I saw them on the car I changed my mind. They look great and the fitment is spot on.

Thanks! Agree, that the design changes the look of the car - way more than I had anticipated.

The wheels are tricky to see correclty because of the satin black. Here are two different angles to show how different each angle looks.

I also didn't like the carbon rear winglet things with the OEM wheels on this color... but now I think they look good. (Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics)
