Fiske Rims Help

I need my fellow Porsche brother's and sisters help. I missed my favorite Porsche show in Hersey causes my rim on my Porsche cracked. I have the fm10 fiske rims and need to know who has an extra rim they want to sell or want to buy my rims which are still in perfect shape either for there street car or race car. I have been in contact with Alan who is running Fiske since the take over and getting impatience. I want to buy or get new rims so i can enjoy the weather break. can someone help me?

You obviously know your situation, but from your post it's hard to figure out what's going on.

A wheel is cracked and it sounds like you want to source a replacement, right? What's broken on the wheel? The center? The barrel? Bolts? It's a 3-piece wheel, correct? Can't you just source the replacement part and rebuild the wheel? Which wheel is it? Front? Rear? What are the dimensions, if you need a replacement part or whole wheel?

If you're so frustrated you just want to go with a new set of wheels, how much do you want to spend? $1000? $4000? 16"? 17"? 18"? What widths? I have a set of new-in-box Speedline 3.6s (the wheels that came on a 1994 911 Turbo 3.6), but to fit a 930 you'll need big spacers/adapters to correct for the difference in offset.

So you are describing a crack in the outer rim. If so - contact Thatcher who sells replacement inner and outer rims for Fikse, and Kinesis wheels. thatcher.shultz@gmail.com
