Default Fikse Finishes??

What’s up everyone,
Was hoping some of the many Fikse owners would be so kind to post up some pics with some of these different finishes and pics to compare the TechniPolish, Race Satin, SpeedSilver, and Full Polish.

Mainly I would like to see the SpeedSilver finish as I have a blue/silver theme going, and would like to see if it will continue to match better then the Race Satin finish.

Yes, I have seen the pics on the Fikse site, however each pic looks the same with little to no difference. I placed the Full polish in the list only to help tell the major difference in the other 3. Also ran a search, with no such luck, on the differances between the finishes.

Thanks for anyone able to help me get a better idea on the finish, and so I can make a choice I will be happy with.

-J

Those are full polish. In person I have only seen the Technipolish, Full Polish and the race black. All very brilliant when not up against another.

Thanks KC for the pic. Yea I have a few members here that are near by with the TechniPolish and the Race Black. I guess more so I’m looking to see which look more of a dull silver color then that of a full polish. I know the Race Satin is said to be the best for race applications but still want the looks appeal to match the theme.

Very nice ride btw.

Right click, save. The wheels really amde that car, if it had some WS6s or ZR1s, you would think its just another clean Lt1 Formula nothing speical but the Fikses really make it look awesome.

Xsta Z 28: Thanks man, now just need to find or see a Race Satin and Speed Silver finishes to match against. I have a pic of a set I like, but the finish has to be of one of the other two finishes.

Thanks again

For some reason, the black centers on the GTO just doesn't look right. I guess it probably has something to do with the slightly rusted rotors behind them...

They look way better in person. Taking pics of black wheels is a PITA! And yes the rotors look like **** in that pic . . .

For some reason, Fikse wheels always look better in person. Kinda weird...I don't like taking pics of my wheels up close either. Polished wheels are sooo hard to keep up with on a daily driver...

Ever consider having them cleared? My friend did that with some AR rims he used to have, made cleanup a BREEZE and they were always shiny. Just a thought...

I've actually got something else in mind currently...I'll have to see how it pans out. I won't be using these wheels for a while if it doesn't stop being shitty with the weather around here
