Default Fikse is back

Rolling into a New Decade under New Ownership:
Kodiak Motorsports Inc. Acquires Fikse Brand.

(Abbotsford, BC) – January 8, 2010. Kodiak
Motorsports Inc. announces the acquisition of
Fikse assets.
Kodiak Motorsports Inc. has been in the wheel
business for over 10 years. No stranger to high
performance, Kodiak supports countless
professional race teams in both the US and
Canada with their race wheel needs. Fikse
Wheels will be the perfect addition and the two
brands will compliment each other perfectly.
“I plan to deliver the same high quality wheels
Fikse customers have enjoyed for years but with a
new and refreshing business model.” says owner
Daryle Redlin, “It’s a great opportunity to continually
advance the state of the art – while also offering
industry-leading customer service and support.”
Fikse Wheels is targeted to launch into full production on March 1st 2010. The company will offer the
same timeless wheel styles as before but with many new fitments and styles coming online as well.
Be on the lookout for the very long awaited 19” and 20” modular and monobloc fitments from Fikse
Wheels. On a familiar note, Will Anthis will remain Sales Manager for Fikse Wheels. “I am excited to
have the opportunity to continue offering sales and service for a product I truly believe is the best
money can buy.” says Will.

I wonder if they will make right with the people that got hosed with how everything went down?

That's a tough one because the new owner isn't the one that left people hanging, but at the same time, if I were one of those people it would be tough to convince me to buy again.

It'll be interesting to see how it works out.

This is good news! Thanks Frank! Sounds like my wheels can be serviced if need be now! I know Forgeline can rehoop them...but my real concern was what if I damage a center....I would have been screwed!
