I'm excited to get them. I'll post some pics once I receive them.

Thanks Driverz (Jon). Sorry you guys got stuck in this. Maybe Fikse should get another CNC before their next big sale!

So how long has it been since you placed your order? The reason I ask is because I'm a few weeks away from placing two orders for Fikse wheels and I don't want to wait 12 plus weeks.

I initially started my order back in June, but I delayed it because of some back spacing issues I was working out (nothing to do with Driverz or Fikse). The order was completed with Driverz in the middle of July. I don't remember the exact date. They are FM5 Profil with race black centers if that matters.

I hope you get yours soon. I also knew they were a slow manufacturer going in. I sort of wonder if the race teams get the wheels first and the "street" customers second? Just a thought....They have a very big race following.

Glad I didn't order Fikse wheels!! I will say I did order a set of NewGens a couple months ago through Jon at Drivers and have been very happy to date with the transaction. Jon has always been there to answer my questions and lend an ear to some of my goofy ideas. At this point I would not hesiate to do business with them again.

Jon..... you know I am a big fan of you and your company. But every negative comment you recieve on this board revolves around Fikse and lead time issues. Why not cut your losses and stop distributing them ?
I know being the middle man is the hardest part of being in the retail business. You and Justin provide invaluable info for many in this hobby.

im in the same boat ... i ordered a set for the shop car and to get a wholesale accnt to distribute for fikse.. i ordered them when the sale was happening it was quite a long time ago i still don't have wheels but am assured it won't be long!! i was told there going through some changes.. i know they layed off a few people .. hope they fix whatever is wrong cause they make a great product it just needs to be reliable build times.
