Fikse FM/10s on the way!

How long have we been working on this Rishie? Since probably August or so ... anyway, Rishie worked his butt off and got together a set of Fikse FM/10's for me. He shipped them out yesterday, so hopefully they'll arrive at the end of this week.

I got 'em with SpeedSilver finish on the spokes, and technopolish lip. For the front I got 17x8.5" with a 37.7mm offset, and a 1 inch H&R studded hubcentric spacer. For the rear I got 17x9.5" with a 37.7 mm offset.

I can't wait to see those babies! Count on pics as soon as they arrive ...

Don't ask what I paid for them. If you want to know PM Rishie and ask. I think everybody on here should buy their rims from Rishie - he did a lot of extra work to get this deal together for me.

Yeah Rishie is a good guy...I would have got my Fikse FM/10's from him also...but midstream I flipped a bitch and decided I liked Kinesis better...beside I got a killer deal from a old friend...not from Rishie...bit regardless Rishie is pretty cool and I didn't have the other hook up..I would have got them from Rishie...no question

Yes we need pics...!!!!

The forum is my website. hehe. Actually, I'll be getting a website up first quarter of next year.

There are so many places you can see pics of wheels on the net, that it's almost a waste of money for me to set up a website just for that. But if there is a wheel you like, then PM me and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the words Ryan and Johnny,

Rishie

I really appreciate guys like Johnny and 13Bace answering questions for guys too in this section. They do a lot of volunteer work as well and sometimes get to things before I even do.

Yes, ryan they are on their way. I shipped them out yesterday. I inspected all of the wheels as well. Both the 8.5 and 9.5 were about 19lbs. Later.

Yes, but there is only special pricing on the 17" fitments. The 18's are like twice as much.

PM if interested.

Thanks, Rishie

Ryan,

Looks like your car is coming together nicely. Now we just have to work on that "nut" behind the wheel.

Yeah, I can get you the McGards. I'll have to look up a price on them, and call Monday. They have several different styles. Do you want the same ones I got BOOSTD.

Later, Rishie

I can mount the tires if the wheels are loose. You'll need to put them on the car.

Thanks Manny ... my problem is the assembly of nuts under the hood. I'm STILL waiting on my engine. But I guarantee as soon as it's going, the first place I'm headed is Putnam.

I think your car looks just fine with the stock wheels. Stock is always the way to go with everything. Then you can give me those beautiful, umm, I mean adequate, wheels.

Hey, those Fikses look great!

I am another satisfied customer of Rishie's. I got some Volk SE37Ks from him and he handled everything very well, including getting me the center caps I wanted, hub rings, & lugs. And all for a very good price.

Go Rishie, go Rishie... you da man.

Thanks again for your kind words; (As I take a bow) hehe.

I try my best and it can be a real bitch sometimes, but my objective is for everything to be gravy on your end, and let me deal with all the bullshit. I try to be in touch with my peeps even during the waiting process to ensure that they have made a good economical decision and that patience is always a virtue and pretty much necessary when owning an FC or D. **** just always takes longer than expected.

Thanks again,

Rishie

I'm gonna start throwing a tantrum if I can't see them on the car soon. Just put a couple hundered pounds of sandbags in the engine bay where the motor should be, at least then you can achieve the proper stance. LOL. hehe. Otherwise it'll look like you got switches and pumps in that thing, lowrider style, two wheel motion. hehe.
