Never bought Fikse from him, but i believe that Mike Bavaro at Body Motion in Ocean NJ sells them regularly.

Good luck.

Opinion?........too 'busy' for my taste........no doubt, many would say they are 'pretty'.
RE: Fikse and others.......(again IMHO) they are above HRE rather than same league.......as for source, I had good price/service from the guys at Windward Perf Prod.s a couple yrs back.

They are excellent wheels, though I went with Kinesis. Give the boys at Wheel Enhancement a shout.

FM10's on the old mans 993TT...

They are 18's. Not sure if this is a better shot or not...



Are you sure you would not rather have some Kinesis K28's

Amazing how the 18's look so much bigger on the 993 than the 996 series!

That is true Darren, they do look larger on the 993. Given they both have the ROW M030, I also notice that the 993's seem to sit lower or at least have a lesser distance from the top of the tire to the fender (especialy in the rear). The Fikse wheels he has on his TT are about as wide as you can get without rolling the fenders. The size illusion is probably caused by the lesser fender gap and the shorter wheelbase of the 993.

Good luck in your search.

Darren, Fikse will discount 20% if you deal with them directly.

How about...

Darren,

How about the K58R? 18inch wheel which does not have the step in the lip and utilizes the 19inch centers of the K59.

They definitely make the wheel look larger than standard 18s...

Fikse FM10's

I have an extra set of 8.5 and 11.5 x 18 Fiske FM10's fully polished for 996tt. They are for sale. They have Pirelli P Zero tires. Can't use them now that I have gone to the 9.5 and 12.0 Fiske FM10's.
