I cancelled my open Fikse orders today via e mail since they WILL NOT return my calls or emails for weeks now.

I've been here since 9am. It's now 10:15 nobody here. Place is dark and the dumpster out back is mostly empty. No mail on the floor though. But it has that eery empty feeling.

I'd be looking for a new wheel supplier if it were me. This doesn't look right. No pallets out back. Nobody on the phones. Not good.

The recon squid.

Thanks for taking the time to drive over. That's not what I wanted to hear, but at least we know why they're not answering.

I was thinking the same exact thing reading this thread.
You don't want to end up with what may have gotten damaged in the shipping process and then have no way of replacing them. **Kudos to Greg for checking up on them for you!!**
GOOD LUCK!!

Nobody that plans or wants to stay in business fails to contact their customers.


Run don't walk to the nearest exit the first time they don't respond to you.

I also heard it has been vacant for the last 2 weeks. No one that is a customer of ours will lose anything weather we get our money back from Fikse or not.

Chris, I talked to your dealer, I know your safe also.

In the meantime, one of my customers needed his wheels this week or was lossing his spot in the shop he is in. Forgeline steping up to bat and offering to push his order to the front of the line and we will have them by Halloween.

Those Forgeline guys are just the best.

Damn, crappy news to hear. I spoke to Wil a few weeks ago when I was pricing out some wheels. My budget got blown up since I had to replace the roof on my house. I sent them an e-mail and he called back right away.

This really sucks, I really wanted these wheels for my car when I do a mini-tub down the road. Looks like it's not gonna happen. SW, James or Charley want to sell me your old sets?
