Thumbs up New Sponsor! Fikse Wheels

Your favorite icon of wheel drooldom is now a site sponsor of LS1TECH.com

Now, lets take the time to learn how to spell the name, since most people get it wrong.

F-I-K-S-E, yes Fik-se and not Fis-ke

It is pronounced FIX-SEE

www.Fikse.com

Give them some feedback here!

I've always wondered the same. Knew how to spell it, never knew how to pronounce it. Is it like "fix"?

Want feedback??

Absolutely gorgeous!! The first time I saw them was in '94-'95, on the black 383 Formula Firebird that Lingenfelter was sending around the magazines for "flogging".

The following year, I got my '96 Z-28, and the first thing to go were the OE "salad shooter" wheels. Called Fikse, talked to their customer rep, a very nice guy. He gave me all the tech info, and refered me to the closet dealer. I call dealer, get price, fall over on floor...$2400...10 years ago!! HOLY CRAP!!

Unfortunately, I just couldn't afford them, as nice as they are.

The FM/5 is still my favorite wheel. I'd love a set, but I'm quite attached to the organs I'd have to sell to afford them. I know they're worth every penny, but they're out of my tax bracket.
