Just did a search and didn't come across any info on retailers, except that they will be able to sell them for cheaper than purchasing from Fikse directly.

Anyone got some info on this?

865$ a Wheel at Car Nutz in Seattle. Not that much of a deal but cheaper than all of the other places here. 425-641-7000 If you want to call them. Your not too far away.

Shit. That's more than I thought. :( My search showed that 18's are around $700 per wheel.

There must be a vendor (that sells wheels for Corvette, Porsche,...) that can get a better price.

I'm looking for a set of staggered 18" FM/5 or Profil5 in a full polished finish.

I just photoshopped the technipolish (not full polish) version on my euro just to see what they look like....

Another member has a set of full polished FM/10's on his silver 98 and they look HOT! They'll be very difficult to keep clean, though.

The Mercedes has FM/5's in technipolish and the 2 cars below have Profil5's in full polish...

I've got one Fikse FM10 18" wheel brand new laying around. I'm going to call Fikse with the part numbers to verify the offset, etc. I want $375 for it, I think they retail for $900?

After all that chasing for the BBS RCJ now you want different wheels? :lol:

Lun, I've done some research on this because I'm also in the market for the same fikse's you want. What I've found out is that Fikse has some of the tightest controls on their wheels of any manufacturer. A few years ago they cut over half their retailers out to give them tighter control of the product. They mandate the price retailers sell at and if retailers sell any lower then Fikse's price Fikse severs all relations with that dealer AND seizes any remaining inventory.

Basically the "hook up" on new Fikse's just doesn't happen.

I know, man. I tracked down a brand new set of RCJ's and the night before I mailed the check out I came across some pics of Fikse's and decided those are the wheels to get. :stickoutt
