I'm really interested in knowing more about those wheels. Which tires are you running, any rubbing, how strong are they?

Also, do you have any pics taken in better light? Thanks alot!

Does anyone know where I could find the Flik Wasp in silver? I can't find the silver in 4x100 anywhere so far.

Great looking rims on all of your cars!!!
Yeah, that's my MCS. I put 19" HRE 540R's on it. They have Gunmetal Centers with polished lips. I only took one picture and it is on the following thread.

I don't think they are made in Silver ... try the Flik Arctic ... pretty similar.

I believe edge racing has them, but they are 18's with the wrong bolt pattern. You might want to call and see if they can get them in the size you are looking for.

After seeing Flik Wasps on a couple of cars on this site I ordered the 17 x 7's in the anthracite. Just waiting for them to arrive

Not nearly as nice, and the Artics aren't available in silver in 4x100 either.

I know they have them in the wrong bolt pattern - I was looking to see if they have the right pattern in 17" or 18" (preferably 18).

ninjamini- another thing to remember is that I think those usually come in
+38mm offset at the tirerack....so if you plan to lower your ride, you need
to dremel a part of the arches in the back. Alex has info on how to.

Very cool ... I don't think you will be dissapointed. Hope edge racing sends you the center caps together with the wheels. I had to wait another 10 days for mine as they forgot to include them. All is well now

The Flix on the red car look awsome. The car looks like a MC40 without the stickers! How do you guys think those anthracite Flix would look on an all Black MCS? My car has the athracite dash and cordoba leather.
