See sig.

I am looking for a set of race wheels for next years ORR season when I attempt to crush the 200mph barrier. And since Fikse is in my back yard I'll be giving them a call.

On wheels like this I wouldnt expet deep discounts. But I am sure that Fikse will step up to the plate and do something for us. Considering the amount of desire for thier wheels even slight discounts will bring them into the range where alot more people would be wearing thier shoes.

I thought they were already a sponsor. Dummy me! I love me Fikse FM10's. Its my 4th set of wheels and my last, I wouldnt trade or sell them for anything. Well worth the money!

Very nice sig pic!

As a matter of fact, I will be extending a 10% discount from list price offer to all LS1TECH members. And please, if you have a question for me, shoot me an email, in lieu of a PM. It's hard for me to check this forum as frequently as I'd like to, and I don't want to leave anyone hanging for too long.

Thanks,

Danny G.

I've purchased two sets of CCWs over the years. They were no where near $4000!

Pretty unprofessional to be discussing other wheel brands in a WELCOME thread for a new sponsor. Get a clue!

Fikse wheels are incrediblely light. They look as if they were sculpted by the gods.
