Fikse wheels
Fikse is supposedly back under new management. I have 17” FM5s but I bought them from others that had gone through the trials. I’d like 18s but they are pricey...even with Black Friday deal. I’ve heard folks have had headaches ordering new ones.
Anyone with experience? Anyone with 18s that have lessons learned and/or final fitment sizes? What tires & sizes? Ted |

Re: Fikse wheels
I have 18x10 and 18x12 Shelby wheels and I have found tire sizes are limited for these too..
I saw the Fikse post on CF, Danny that worked there before is Consulting for them. I did not inquire regarding cost and it is out of my range currently

Re: Fikse wheels
I went with 10x18 front and 12x19 rear Fikse Profil 10 wheels. Deciding factor was much better choice of excellent rear tires available in 19”.

Re: Fikse wheels
I went with a 19 on the rear of my car only because of the limited tire sizes. The sizes I think are limited to a 335-30-18.

Re: Fikse wheels
Thanks for the info. I have 17” FM5s but alway jonesing for 18s.
I can make a car go a lot faster on my stockers for the $3,500 plus tires that they want on a deal for the 18s. Always dreaming... Ted |

Re: Fikse wheels
I forgot to add back when I bought my wheels I looked into a set of Fikses but the info from Fikse was too unreliable.

Re: Fikse wheels
If it does I can make you up a pair of rear ABS reluctor wheels with a tooth count that will correct it.
Had to do it on mine with 345/30-19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Sent from my iPhone using ZR-1 Net Registry
