Default question about fikse wheels

anybody know if they went out of business ... call and get recorded stuff and nobody returns my call and none of their extensions answer...beware if you are wanting to buy their wheels because they may not be there???????

I just talked to them last week about my wheels. I would be curious to know though. I asked them what torque setting my lug nuts should be set at. Were you thinking about buying ? I dont see many Fikse wheels out their. I like mine.

no I have profil 10 I think, look like stock wheel but polished lip, clearcoated center, they are 3 piece wheel 18s front, 18x11 back, want to enlarge to 11.5 or 12 so I can run 335/30/18s...I do like them and get compliments on them even though similar to stock polished 04 z14 wheels.

DannyG here on the forum works/worked for Fikse. You can try to drop him a PM. He provided me with support when I purchased my Fikse wheels.


fstws6 - I love that powder coated center!
