It's been narrowed 5inches. Yes if there's a buyer I would sell them. I'm going to be switching to a 15 inch wheel in the rear. So I'm just going to end up getting a matching set of 18's

This deserves a bump. Has anyone bought new Fikse wheels recently? I bought mine in 2003. I know the company was having trouble in 2010 and was sold. Wondering how the "new" owners are doing with the company? I have a friend who is thinking about getting a set.

Didn't know they went through some rough patch and got sold. After reading this, I went on their site to check out wheels and noticed no longer carry Profil 13's! So I guess they'll be considered rare at some point. Glad I've got mine if that's the case.
