Im looking to buy some new rims in a few months (rishie expect a call by the end of summer) and was looking at the Fikse FM 10's.

anybody have pics of these rims on an FD? preferably 18's? well, thnx in advance.

 

pm johnsrx7

he has fm/10's

be aware fikse is famous for HUGE price varations during the year...generally summer is not the time to buy.

 

Yeah I'm here for ya Denny. Fikse did up their prices and therefore I can get you a way better deal on Kinesis.

Without the Performance pricing anymore I doubt I'll be able to bring them business. I've indicated that to them and are negotiating the next level of pricing as I'm sure I do enough volume to warrant that.

As of now i'd say Kinesis all the way. Pick your finish and it will still be cheaper than the Fikse. Plus count the difference in bolts used between the two. I've heard that Fikse may be using a newer 6000 series alloy whereas kinesis uses a 5000. What this means I have no idea. I'm not much of a metalurgist. hehe. Is that a word?

Go for a K29R, 18" wheel with a 19" face. Frikin' amazing.

Looks great John!

If you dont mind my asking what did those wheels set you back? Also is ur car lowered at all?

 

Nope the car is not lowered. Stock suspension. I would love to lower the car, but I would not be able to get it in the drive way. As it is, the chin spoiler rubs now.
