Question Best price on Fikses for 930 ...

All,

Since it's the weekend and I'm not patient enough to wait until Tuesday I figure I'd ask the board for the answer

I saw a car with a set of FM-10s on it today and that got me thinking again that since I need new tires I might as well think about getting a set of 17" or 18" Fikses (probably FM5s but maybe FM10s) to replace my BBS 16" mesh wheels.

What can I expect to pay for a set of such wheels? I searched the board but didn't find anything posted so I'll ask the question.

So .... can anybody give me an idea on what I should expect to pay? Those of you that have bought them, how much did you have to hide this from your wife

thnx

$2200-2800 for the set of four. Depends upon who wants to give you a deal. Your shop may be able to hook you up too.

I don't know how many people carry/sell them anymore.
My friend (a Fikse dealer) said Fikse's wholesale price (to him) is more than Wheel Enhancement's retail price so it makes no sense for him to sell Fikse.

I got a price from Fikse of $2400 for 17" FM10's 8.5 and 10" in standard finish.

Thanks for the tip on Wheel Enhancement.

I paid $2400 for a set of 8 & 9.5 x 17 Mach V's with Hoosiers.

A set of 8 & 10 x 17 FM-5's sold at John Walker's swap meet last year for $2100.

Thanks guys, I'll call Wheel Enhancement on Tuesday to get their price and email Fikse.

With the price increase on the 2pc fuchs, and the 3pc fuchs at almost the same price as Fikse, I'm now torn. The Fuchs look more classic, but the Fikses would be a brand new wheel ...

thnx ...
