I voted Fikse. Maybe I am kinda old school but I like the stepped lip. The Rushforth's are nice and cost less but they are a two piece wheel. I would be happy with either but it really depends on what look you want: IMO Fikse = Race bread look, Rushforth = Nice Billet show type. Although the brushed finishes have more aggressive look which look good.

Good observation, Tom. I specifically designed my line to split the difference of the pure functionality of a Fikse or HRE R Series with the style, detail and smooth lip of a street rod billet wheel.

Our styles are also available in 3 piece and all of our designs are also available with or without hardware in 2 or 3 piece.

Regardless, We're flattered to be in the poll and among your top choices because I do know how tough it is and we are truly honored to be at or near the top of the heap. We know we have a lot of supporters here and we are grateful for it.

Im just going to bite my lip and not say anything.

I just feel a lot of the Honda guys and pro touring guys have something in common.that would be they both like the same style wheels.
10 spokes look down right strange on a muscle car period.

I think most of the muscle cars have 5 spoke rather than 10 spoke wheels.

With that said, I can't find any common similarities between a honda and a muscle car.
Theres one wheel on the market that's been over played more than any other: TT2's

This statement being the most commonly dismissed piece of very important information when considering Rushforth Wheels. Take note everyone....

I love my Fikse wheels! And the one you are looking at is the Profil 5s.

I like the look of the wheels on Chris' car a lot!

I know I'm not much help!!

I already offered Rich a great deal on some fikse wheels, But my guess is he is going to get the deal on the HRE's that Tyler is offering him.

Just wait till you boys see the stance we put on this bad boy. We had to make our own wheel tubs to do it, but man she looks GOOD. Rich will see it in person on saturday.
