I don't know ? I did love those wheels.

I ended up buying some bogarts road race rims which I like a lot to.

Mine aren't actually powdercoated, they're anodized. It's an optional finish offered from Fikse. I don't know how much it costs, as I bought mine used.

nice wheels guys! to me there is not a better looking wheel than that FM5 due to its simplicity and sleek look..... but it is way over priced, i dont care how well its made..... there is no reason why that wheel should be more than $400 per wheel.... but, the cars in these pictures are some of the best pics on the forums so you gotta pay to play! jake

Me too. I think I have about $2100.00 into my Fikse set-up...including $650 worth of tires. You have to be in the right place at the right time...oh yeah...and pray.
