I am here to take a beating... Not that I want one, but that I may deserve one.
Mac, I am sorry that you had to call me back to get your tracking number and updates. As you now know your wheels are being delivered to you tomorrow.

Alan,

I bought 4 to 5 sets of wheels from Fikse before you were even there
back when the Fikse bros where the original owners. And recently like 6 months ago contacted you directly who you in turn sent me to Danny and
I was placing an order with him and then he fell into the abyss and I never heard back from him. To later find out that he was laid off.

You guys make a nice wheel but you need to take care of your customers otherwise other companies like Forgeline, CCW, HRE will be more than happy to steal your existing customers or ****** up potential new ones.

You are absolutely correct. I do not want the impression that has been laid out here to continue. All I can offer at this moment is to apologize, try to address and correct any existing issues and ask for another chance to prove ourselves.

A group buy would be good or somewhat of a discount. I just can't afford $900 per wheel right now....

How much do 18" CCWs go for per wheel?

For what it's worth I called Fikse last week to talk about a set of FM5's. I believe I spoke with Alan, not sure though. He was very helpful and easy to talk to. Said it would be around 6 weeks for the rims to get to me. I've never seen Fikse do a group buy but if they were willing to I'd be interested.

You are correct that we do not typically offer group buy purchases. We do have some wheel centers on our overstock list that I can offer better prices on. There are about 8 sets of 5x4.75(120.65) wheel centers on the list. Please call or email me for prices.

For other styles that need to be manufactured, we are currently running around 6 weeks. Yes this is more than some. We just finished our move into a larger facility and the lead time will come down.

How much is a set of these going for? I have a set of ccw sp500's on my daily driver but been looking for something different for my track car. Love the ccw lm20's so something similar to that wheel is what I would want.

17" are in the seven something range. If you are looking for a deal, ask me about any of the wheel centers here
