Default Need Help Fast FIKSE

I can get a set of 4 fm-10s for 300. Only thing wrong is the bead is cracked on the backside and some of the clear is missing on the front. Go for it? They are 17"

You have to ask?????




Hopefully you've sealed the deal by now. Getting them "repaired/refinished" won't be that much, and they're about $3000 new........

less than the $2700 you'd save by buying those. if you want to buy them and flip them I'll give you $500 for them and I'll deal with them.

I spent the last 10 minutes trying to find these. I would have bought them if I found them.

Just buy them already.

So what???

They're multi-piece wheels...just change the inner or outer halves, and make them ANY width you want!! Secondly, THAT'S how you fix the "cracked bead"...by replacing that half of the rim.

But that's like 500 a piece. I don't wanna spend that much on them. But my friend is going tomorrow and he will get them for me if they are still there. Plus I don't know if the offset was too much. The guy knew NOTHING about them

okay let me break this down for you dude because you're obviously not getting it.

4 wheels for $300
4 wheel repair $500x4 =2000 (although how can they all be that bad?)

total cost - $2300

throw some tires on them, flip them and profit. or use them on your car and you'll still have saved money.


or give them to me.

You could always have CCW replace the inner/outer halves. Last time I had one done, it was $150 for a polished outer half. So, even if ALL the shells had to be replaced, it's $300/wheel = $1200, plus the initial $300...less than $2K for a set of Fikses...deal of the century!

And, offsets "as-is" mean nothing, as your offset is determined by the width of the inner/outer shells that you pick, while determining the width that you want.

I live in florida... But I was going to buy new front pieces to widen the back and might just get a new one of the cracked depending on how much it is. I will contact fiske on here. I've heard they don't sell pieces but ccw does
