Think they are the Fikse wheels. If you look at the back of the car behind the rear wheel there is a Fikse logo. I also found a website that list the wheels on the 2005 as Fikse. Looks like they were only on the original cars in 05 and then they changed the design. The newer design looks much better, also am assuming the offset may be why they dont look exactly the same as in the picutre. To be sure you could always call Fikse direct and ask them.

Color aside, it's the same wheel design.

Well, I stand corrected then. I think the confusion stemmed from how they changed the metal's finish.

Exactly what I was thinking! The rear wheel on the original picture looks more "bronze" that the front. Could just be some dirt on the rear giving it the "bronze" appearance....

If you check out their website a lot of the pictures they have of racing cars have rims that are blue, red black etc.

They will make anything you want so it is possible the rims are magnesium or anodized etc.

In fact if you look at the pictures on one of the pages under street cars someone submitted a picture of a white BMW with rims that look fairly close to the ones on that FR500C.

That could be- a custom color is definitely possible.
