Default fm10's or tt II's

I plan on buying one set of either wheels... 17x10 rear and 17x 9.5 front ofr my 00 ws6

but which wheel is better?? I like the looks of both of them.. the fiske's are def. more expensive... thunder racing sells them as a complete set with tires for $3,200 ....

Which is stronger and can handle gobs of power?

thanks

both will hole the power, tires are what you worry about there..

F10s would be my vote, I love them, but the TT2s fit my budget and i like them aswell.

FM10's if there in your budget. Just because not as many people have them. But both are nice

Fikse wheels are a forged, 3-piece wheel. TT2's are not.

Fikse wheels are very lightweight. TT2's are not.


Ummm. They are both very nice looking wheels, but if you wanna fork out the cash, Fikse seems to be more of what you're looking for. Go to the site, there is a story of some racecar loosing a tire and riding a bare fikse wheel to the finish line, or something. The wheel remained true.

Fikse is an awesome wheel. I have been toying with the idea of getting either fm5 or 10s..I can't decide, but will prob go with fm10. I don't know if they are getting cheaper, but you can get 4 new for around 2700.

Fikse FM10's w/ tires for 3200 bucks from TR?! Yeah right. Not trying to pock holes in your story but I doubt that. 17's or 18's? I didn't know TR did wheel and tire packages let alone Fikse.

I agree, I can't believe someone would even cross shop these two wheels. The Fikse are in a totally different league.

Anyone interested I can get you a set of Fikse FM wheels for $2600 shipped to your door. Brand new 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears. If you are serious and have the cash I can get them to you. This is the real deal, no b.s. or games. So please don't waste my time if you are not serious or don't have the funds. References available for previous past transactions on this board.

Thanks,
Kevin

If you seriously have the money to drop on Fikse's I can't even believe this is even a question.
