    Fikse/Kinesis replicas..

    Do they sell any kind of Fikse or Kinesis replica wheels for my e36 m3? I know that they make replica bmw oem wheels and BBS wheels. But I'm looking for either a FM/5 or FM/10, or a k27 kinesis wheel replica. Then I could just buy the centercaps and pretend.

    Thanks
    -Mike

    Haven't seen any replicas for these make wheels. There may be other brands that have models that look similar to what you're looking at, perhaps Stern maybe?

    Fikse owners like myself don't want our wheels replicated, they're a very high quality and LIGHT LIGHT wheel. I've been to their factory, the engineering is amazing.

    Buy the real thing or don't. But don't try to be a faker.

    agree, dish out the extra cash n buy the best for ur car. i used to go around finding replica stuff but in the end its not worth it. mod slowly and dish out extra cash n get the best. As for wheels, they cant be fake... its a rule!


    Performance Mods: H&R Sport Spring/FK Shocks, Eurosport Intake/M50 Manifold, Eibach swaybar, SuperSprint Exhaust, UUC 8.5 lbs Flywheels and Clutch kit, X brace, Brembo slotted brakes with Axxis ultimate pads, Stainless Steel clutch and brake lines, GC shims/Rtabs, GC Shock mounts, UUC tranny mounts + Enforcers, UUC Evo 3 SSK + DSSR, And most imporant... UUC clutch stop!

    Future Mods: 3.38 LSD, UUC underdrive pulleys and Shark Injector. And possibly FI... but this car is getting out of hand.

    theres a reason why they make replicas,
    RULE OF THUMB- "cheaper to make and easier to break".
    A lot of R&D went into making Fikse's which is the reason why they are so popular and yet so durable on and off the track. Dont buy a fake.

    maybe they aren't taking it to the track, or if they do, they'll just throw some doublespokes or other oem wheel on. sure you complain about "don't buy replicas, only the real thing will do" but i'm sure you wouldn't complain about your girl getting a boob job...

    I've seen a decent HRE replica from some company called iforged or something, maybe they make kinesis replicas too. Even the center cap looked almost identical to HRE.

    Iforged is a direct competitor to HRE, for about the same price.

    You're looking for these?

    Buy some, they're great! I love my K27's

    CCW Classics would also be a good choice and a little cheaper in price, but they're a touch heavier. I would also suggest the BBS LM or GT2 if you like the 3 piece wheels.

    or find them used. I found the Kinesis used. I still need to pick up some center caps, but I've been dragging my feet on the $100 center caps Maybe I'll leave them off and they'll be less likely to be stolen.
