Default FIKSE wheels

How long does it usually take for the folks at FIKSE to get back to you on wheel quotes?

I thought about a set of FM10s for my camaro for a long azz time now. I like the 505s but the 10s are much sweeter.

Fikse doesnt have a "505" model. They make a five spoke FM5 or Profil 5. How did you contact them? Since Danny is gone, they are almost non existent on the forum. Your best bet is to call.

Figured you were talking about CCWs, didnt know if there was any confusion. Both companies the easiest way to reach them is by phone. CCWs run about $2800 for a set of 18s and I think the regular price on 17" FM10s is around $3100. 505's were always my dream wheel but I jumped on a great sale price on the FM10s. Only downfall is Ive been waiting 4 months for the wheels to be built. If you want something quick, CCWs are usually delivered pretty quick.

I disagree, but to each his own.

$2k -$2.5K is more do-able. I haven't seen too many folk selling them though (18s that will fit CAmaro in proper offset that is). I look though the classifieds all the time.

josh at kytp had a set on here for sale just a lil bit ago, there killer wheels but i just feel the camaro looks best with a simple 5 spoke wheel, the birds look great with wheels like that, its imo but fm5s pretty much own any wheel when it comes to a camaro, the weld rts in the bigger sizes are really nice as well, not cheap almost ccw, fikse money but really nice

Any Fikse 18" can be ordered to clear big brakes but then your talking $3500ish for 18s. CCWs like SP500 and 505a can be ordered to clear CTS-V or Z06 brakes for still $2800 for the wheels. Only downside is you have a smaller lip up front. I regret not going that route at times..
