Fikse or BBS?

Any comments on why one brand might be better than the other?

I dont think you can go wrong with either one, both are reputable companies that make a quality product.

If you want a great 3pc racing wheel, the Fiske Profil Line is nice. They also have their new monoblock.

I like the Fiske Profil 13


For the BBS Wheels, their off the shelf 1 piece or even 2 piece wheels are great. I personally had the LM's on my 996C2 and loved them. The LM-R is very traditional Porsche and a great fitment.

Both companies I think are great, the only downfall BBS has is that if they don't have what you want in stock, chances are you won't get it for 6 to 8 weeks to come in since they are not made in the states.

Atleast with custom made stuff like fikse, HRE, etc you pretty get a very close eta once you place an order.

Matt is very right. I have not run into the stocking issue yet, but most Porsche customers are buyhing Fiske, HRE, etc. I know with HRE if it is not instock you are looking at 3-4 weeks.

Both companies are great, I guess it comes down to personal choice and if they are for looks or track.
