Im looking for another set of wheels to put slicks on...must be 996 gt3 fitment (8.5 fronts, 11 rears).


Anyone have anything?

 

Why not get a set of CCW's new for like $2600?

 

because I know too many people who have had problems...and Im seeing if someone is getting rid of anything for less (just before I spend even MORE money...haha)

 

Really?! With CCW's?! Care to publicize? PM if not. I've heard nothing but amazing things about CCW. To knowledge they are the only wheels to hold up under hard berm abuse other than E88's. That's why you see World Challenge Corvette and Viper teams running them. I believe even the ALMS Corvettes used them for a season.

 

just problems with finishing and overall quality...its just enough crap to irk me...I guess thats it...

 

O ya definitely not as pretty as a BBS, Fikse or HRE. But if its going to be a track wheel, power coat that bad boy black and run the crap out of it. No one on the track cares how pretty your wheels are.

 

its more with quality control that im concerned with. I dont care about pretty...but at 2600, ide rather just spend the extra money and go for the best wheels there...my point is look at fikse and how many teams use their products. That means alot to me.

 

Honestly i can't think of that many...? All World Challenge teams run BBS and CCW. Almost all Porsche teams from Koni to Yokahama Cup to WC to AMLS run BBS. Which teams run Fikse wheels? Sorry not to be a stickler, just curious.

 

Have you had any experiences with Fikse? Yes they are nice wheels but they crack easily. I had fikse (see my avatar) and 3 out of 4 of them had hairline crack on the inner barrel which result to leaking air. This is from your normal daily driving.

 

I only use my fikses on the track and I have rocked the hell out of them in a couple different cars, and I havent had any problems. For the street, I prefer OEM wheels for simple quality...All sorts of wheels have problems, but after meeting with Matt Fikse himself, I have confidence in their products over almost anything out there. They have AMAZING customer service as well and are quick to repair and make things right...this is another aspect of CCW that seems to be lacking from what I have heard.

 

Really i've heard that CCW's customer service is what they're known for?! Good luck with the new Fikse's if that's the route you decide to go!

 

Most Koni teams run Fikse.

Drew, I'd definitely get a set of Fikse's.

You know how we do.

 

You know now that i think about it most do. I recall seeing a lot of the split 5 spoke Fikses being used on Koni cars. Good luck with your search!

 

ive already got a set for the gt3...haha, I just need some beaters!!! haha

 

fikses are nice
