Default Texas Forum user wins Fikse Wheels!

Corvetteforum’s winner of the custom Fikse wheels is RWE 427 from San Antonio, TX.

He became eligible for the random drawing on the wheels by posting in the contest thread posted by Cozmo, the Forum’s Regional Events Coordinator for Central Texas. Rob was one of nearly a thousand Forum participants who qualified for the drawing by offering suggestions for regional events.

Rob has been a Corvetteforum user for more than 10 years and owns a 2007 Black ZO6. He spent eight years in the Marine Corps, working on EA6Bs – the aircraft in his profile picture.

When Rob left the Marine Corp, his wife joined the USAF and they have moved six times in the 15 years she has been in service.

His signature reveals that his top speed in a Corvette was 186 mph on the Autobahn near Spangdahlem A.B. Germany in 2003.

Congratulations to Rob and happy Veterans Day to both Rob and his wife.
