Fikse closed?
Anyone hear anything? I read on corvetteforum that Fikse shut down/closed? Too bad if it's true, awesome product.

check out HRE or try Asanti wheels. Just some options I checked out when I ordered them for my Camaro project.

Hosting is cheap. They probably paid it for the year.

That totally sucks... they were one of the best wheel companies out there.
I guess I'll be looking at http://www.kinesismotorsports.com/1971 Camaro, 383 stroker ~500HP,M21 Trans with lightened flywheel. All Sorts of Auto-x Goodness in the Suspension. 12" Brakes ->SOLD
But ask me about my 2004 STi Auto-x car...

We heard the same thing. I'll have to take them off the DriverzInc.com site.
If anyone is left wanting, we're still doing well with Forgeline, Asanti, Kinesis, for three piece wheels. All companies doing a decent job of delivering. Forgeline is only 4 weeks out, and they are a stand up company to deal with.

Rushforth Wheels on Pro-Touring
Check out one of our sponsors here at Pro-Touring, which is Rushforth Wheels. Jason Rushforth is a great guy and an enthusiast. His wheel centers start off as a rotary forging, which is even stronger than billet.
He's debuting a new 20inch wheel design on our Kuda for SEMA this year, and his wheels are on the cover of Popular Hot Rodding on Brian Finch's Built to Perfection '67 Mustang.

Kinesis was bought out by Lexani many years ago. They are not the same company as when I, John Parsons, or Steve Chrissos dealt with many moons ago. If I was to look at wheels today, I w ould look at CCW and Forgeline. That is not to say there aren't many other fine wheels vendors. Originally Posted by Lowend

I hope for your sake you are right. But I sincerely doubt it.

I've never run any of Jasons wheels but I can say that HE is a great guy if that means anything about his product!
