Fiske Wheels Garage Sale

Just an FYI for you guys looking for a new set of wheels...Fiske is selling some of their wheels for cheap (at least for Fiske). There is a set of FM/10's 17x8.5 and 17x10 for $1800.

Yeah, that's cheap for Fikses. I love the FM10s. I wish I could do this but my wife would divorce me. We just paid off the balance of our credit card (I was responsible for most of that balance)! Would be a great steal for an FD owner on this board!

Unfortunately, item GS08 won't fit a 3rd gen. RX-7, because the center bore is 2.346" (2nd Gen.) and the 3rd gen. center bore is 2.6 something.

That price was too good to pass up, so I called Fikse to buy them and found this out. They have "special" pricing on 3rd gen. rims, 8.5" front and 10" rear (17" diameter) at $599 front and $699 rear.

Fikses for $1,800 is a great price, and anyone with a 2nd gen. should jump on these.

I already ordered my FM/10's from Rishie ... their offsets listed would never fit a FC anyway.

Interesting... that's what the guy at Fikse said they'd been made for. (FC)

I mailed them and unfortunately they had been sold. I think I would rather get the volk le37a instead. Also, the size should be correct as the gentelman said they worked very closely with PFS for the fitment.

Tell me about it... Still, $2,600 isn't bad for Fikse rims. I paid $3,300 for my Kinesis K5s, part of which was extra cost for polishing the center sections.

yeah but 1800 is a little easier on the wife If I had the money I would have gotten your k5's.. I know the guy that ended up with them in cali..Very nice looking on his black FD..then he ends up selling his FD and getting a 911...

I'll get em eventually or divorced and get them tomorrow
