Default Fikse is Back!

Well, we never went away but we're back as sponsors on LS1Tech! And, as many of you know, Fikse wheels and pretty much all LS powered cars are a beautiful combination. As for me, my name is Danny Goll and I worked for the company back when it was owned by Matt and Jim Fikse in the mid-2000s. I've rejoined in a consulting capacity to help the new ownership bring the brand back to its deserved elite status.

The quality and consistency is just as amazing as it's always been and the product line has been expanded quite a bit in the past few years. All of the originals (like the FM5, FM10, Profil lineup, etc.) are still available as it would be a sin to do away with them, but there are new designs that almost nobody has yet. Who doesn't want to be one of the first to have a set of forged modular wheels in a new design from an iconic brand?

Below are just a few examples of the new designs. Interested in a set? See the full selection here and shoot me a PM or email me at danny@fikse.com for a quote. Mention the code LS5 for a 5% discount!

The Profil 7S

The 701 (My new personal favorite)

The 801

Danny was super helpful in helping me snag a pair of FM10s many years back. He gave me a great price after some centers were found laying around. Once he left Fikse the customer service I got wasn't nearly the same. Welcome back Danny!

Cheers buddy! I feel like I kind of remember this transaction, oddly enough... Post some pics of the car if you still have it! Would love to provide folks with more examples of how well these wheels compliment that F-Body shape!

You offered a sale of certain styles and I'm pretty sure faces were just found, I think you guys were moving at the time. I snagged a killer deal but after you left Fikse I had a hard time getting in touch with anyone and I think it was nearly 7 months from me originally giving a first payment to receiving the wheels. Still have the car! As requested..

Good looking set up! When you say 5" lips, are you referring to your outer rims? Wondering if you narrowed your rear end and are now going super deep dish.

I know, right? Was a screaming deal... Not sure if it will happen again but you never know come the late season sales like Black Friday, etc.
