fikse, bummer they closed the thread....
 

my question to fikse was, who is you chief competion for building race wheels?

It was closed at his request, but can definitely be opened back up.

Hopefully he'll see this and answer your question.

thanks jody, i think i upset him by mis spelling the name(sorry). i should say to everybody i am alot dislexic when i write and spell. yea i was curious about the competion to see if they follow the same guide lines as fikse. i did like the f1 wheel i posted, it would look cool in flat black. can sombody do some photoshopping?

wait. what? they closed the thread? How come? I'm not bashing on Fikse, but to ask someone what the next wheel should look like and then get mad when people start making appearance suggestions rather than "design" suggestions is their own fault for not asking the right question.

Let me see if I can make that a little clearer.

"What should our next wheel look like" is a different question from "what type wheel should we make next."


the difference in answers you'll get is "sharpen the edges, thin the spokes, invert the dish" and "make a 6,7,8 or 10 spoke wheel" There's only so much that can be done or described that way.

I hope that helps. I don't know what happened or why the thread was closed, but good on 'em for asking the market in the first place. At least they care.

If you're talking race, BBS. People with street cars that want to run our wheels, HRE.

And just for clarification about the thread closing; We want to be very careful about getting involved with online "wars", if you will, and I just had the slightest sense of that occurring, so I shut it down before it could. Nothing personal with anyone, at all :thumbsup:

Thanks again for all of your input!

Wheels
 

I love your wheels but would like to see 20's. I know not much of a racing need for them. Keep up the great work

Danny are making the classic mag any wider than 11inches now. I would like the classic mags in 18X12.5. your sales staff told me 11 inches was it .Thanks Scott.

bbs and hre, seems to me like two totally differnt themes as you said. one is race and one is street and track, i still say a street division would be awesome for your company but i see you point on keeping your company standereds up to your race standerds. well i'm at a loss, let me think a while......

Scott,

I have a 12.5 X 18 fitment, right in front of me. Give me a shout if you're still interested.
