I know John Duff had them on his, but I can't find a picture of it anywhere. Anyone have a pic of an FD with the Fikse Fm/10s on them?

I did find this one, but I was looking for other angles.




Also, are these 18s or 17s?

I will soon I have some on the way IMO FIKSE's are works of art. If you decide to get some talk to Rishie he will give you a great price.

Damn those wheels look good.

boostedyellow7

ya they do'

Does Rishie have a store, I know that he is a forum member and was working on a group buy or something for Kinesis rims.

Johnsrx7

Thanks Gordon. What is a the recommended size to get? I was looking at the PFS site but Peter didn't list the widths of the rims though, but he did list the tire size.

Johnsrx7,
Ask Rishie if he can start a group buy on them, cause I definitely want a set. He's in the Suspension/wheels/tires/brakes section of the forum. Btw, I know a local shop that can get me 17's for $2,300. I want 18's though. Btw, I'm going to go with 18x8.5 with 42mm ET for front, and 18x10 with 45mm ET rear. That seems to be a proven "no rub" combination. Tires should be 245/35 front, 285/30 rear.

WOW, those rims are pretty tight! (first pic)

Johnsrx7

Mach2, I will see what I can do, I email Rishie, but I have not hear from him yet.

Fikses are BEAUTIFUL wheels and are very lightweight. There are only 2 wheels I considered for the FD. The Fikses and the Kinesis.

JoeD

actually all these "top of the line" as i like to call it (Kinesis, Fikse, Forgeline, HRE) are not as light as most pepole think. they are light, but for the price, you would expect much lighter.

the mid range to high end models of some of the JDM wheel manufacturers (Advan, Buddy Club, Volk) are significantly lighter, with a MUCH lower price tag.

but still, if money was no object....i'd only settle for the "top of the line".

Johnny

advan, buddy club,volk...

yes they are lighter...but usually 1 or 2 piece also.. and I'd argue their strength is not as great as the "top of the line" mentioned.... but you are right...they are not superlight weight be any means...for example for 18x10 Kinesis K58's weighed in a 23lbs

JoeD

and just for comparison...18x9.5 Volk SE-37Ks weigh 16.75 pounds (according to the issue in Turbo about wheels and various wheel wheight webpages). half an inch in width does not make a real difference in weight, so lets just say 17 lbs. for the Volks that cost just over half the price of a similarly sized Kinesis K58 weighing in at 23 lbs.

but streangth, customer service by the manufacturer, custom sizing, custom colors, and the abily to replace a piece in case of damage....thats a different story.

ok guys these are not my wheels but just some pics i saved from some other post on the forum. i can't remember whose they are but if you search for fikse fm/10 then i bet you could find the post. they are kick *** wheels and i'm saving up to buy some

forcefed93

Wow,,,nice red FD.

Dr Wankel

They look like 17's. can anyone clarify this ?

Johnsrx7

the ones on the red FD look like 17 and the ones on the black one are 18s. Too bad the price is so high for the 18s.

I remember Duff having the "Mach V" Fikse wheel on his red FD. IMO those are even nicer looking than the FM/10 but both are really, really nice looking wheels.

Wade

Johnsrx7

I though Duff had FM/10s

tookwik

ive got a buddy who owns a shop in raleigh who has the Fm-10's and Fm-5's. next time om over there (with in the next few days), i'll try and get some pics for you guys. Theres also a white corvette in my neigborhood with some that look great.

Piston Pete

beyond friggin sick!

Johnsrx7

ttt

alwan16

according to the post that i got those from the sizes are 17x8 and 17x10.

Jordan

Even Volks are not good for you?

I've heard of Fikses, but not Kinesis, oh, the one on the orange color FD way back in the Turbo mag?

Johnny

ya Volk's not good enough for me...well maybe MAG TE-37's...
Yes that orange FD had Kinesis K58's... black anodized centers..sweet wheel.
