I figured I'd let you folks know that as of today Shark Werks is now a Fikse wheel dealer. I know many of you have associated us with Kinesis wheels (and rightly so) in the past but as you've all by now read that the company as we knew it is no longer and is owned by Lexani. It was as much a suprise to me as it was to you guys but that's the nature of the business I guess. Anyways, I'm actually pretty happy because it's given us the opportunity to try something different and in fact partner up with Fikse USA, who have for a long time been making light, strong and stylish wheels. I don't see much on the boards about them (usually HRE, Champion etc...) and seeing as they are not readily available from most vendors I figured I'd let you know that you can indeed get them from us and we'll happily help you out. Way before we ever became a Fikse dealer we actually bought a set for our 996 wide-body project car (see pictures) and I've always liked them. They're DOT legal, used a lot for club-racing (so we know they're strong) and very light. As usual there's a plethora of finishes available...

The diamond cut technipolish centers (brushed as we call them universally) on the Fikses is BY FAR the best quality machining job unmatched by HRE, Kinesis, iForged, anyone else out there. Technipolish actually makes the all other brushed centers look like crap.

You guys need to take a look yourselves. Racey, conservative, and functional

 

it would be sweet if these guys made a 20 inch wheel. Light, yet large enought to still look good for 997 TT and F430...

 

I'm with you on that. Their machining is very unique indeed. Technipolish is an awesome sight... I've always got them on the white car (the non-turbo) and people ask what type of finish it is...

 

Congrats to you Alex, fine piece of wheels you have there. Fikse is one of the best out there.

I agree Bajo, I think once they got to know us they seemed to like us so it'll be a good match for us and the customers.

 

They tell me that they are actually close to doing the 20 inch sizing for the 997TTs. Obviously 19s are available.
