Default Calling FIKSE Owners

im looking into changing the inner and outer hoops on my 17" FM10s and are wondering what yalls sizes are. right now the wheels are 8" with a 1.5" outer lip and 6.5" inner lip. im thinking about leaving 2 for the front the way they are and replacing (hopefully) just 2 outer lips to make a 10" rear so the outer would be 3.5"

Honestly I know nothing about them. All I know is the bolt pattern and the size of each lip. What questions do I ask?

I'd ask em if they could send the outer and inner lips for a Camaro/T/A offset and what the price would be to get those parts IMO.

ive heard from alot of people that they dont sell parts. and if you want it fixed you need to send the wheels to them. ive read on many forums about that but i found a guy that has alot of different ones

I have new inner barrels in stock that are less expensive than ordering from Fikse.

If you need new outer lips for FM10's though, you'd want to go through Fikse. They will run you around $340 per outer lip.

Looks like this may turn out to be more than a $300 investment for you

oh i knew it was but it shouldnt be too much and if it turns out that it is... then i will replace the one inner, sell them for about 1500 on a bmw forum and pocket around 1000 bucks and most likely throw it in my car (thats where the wheels are right now too haha)
