I had the pleasure of testing out the latest new wheel from Fikse today. It's a 1-piece forged wheel that was designed for the 997, 996, and even worked on my 993TT.

The Seattle 6speed crew took a drive up the back side of Mt St Helens today. I definitely put these wheels through the ultimate test. Some of the roads were not in the greatest condition. We even had 1 guy bend a wheel on the way back down. These new wheels stood up to everything that was thrown at them.

I can't wait until these are released. I think I will have to pick a set of these up just for our 6speed drives. Lightweight and strong is the way to go for our drives.

This picture should keep you guessing.

Finally had time to hunt through my pictures and find a good one.

 

Wow, those rims look great! What is the bolt pattern/ spacing on them? I wonder if I could get some to work on my mustang :P

 

They are standard Porsche fitment. From my understanding, these particular new wheels are Porsche only once they become available. They have many other wheels that would probably work on your car.

 

What diameters are they?

 

They are 19x8.5 in the front and 19x11 in the rear. They currently are running a 305 in the rear on my car.

 

They remind me alot of the FM10s I used to have but 1 piece instead of 3. They were very light and strong wheels. Do you have weights for the sizes you mentioned?

 

those are nice!

 

hi david!

i say we plan another drive! that way, you can provide us all with even more feedback

plus...i am up and running again! no riding passenger anymore!

 

Very nice! I was thinking of getting a set of FM/10s, but I may have to wait till these are released. Is there any set date for "release" with pricing/fitment/etc?

 

From my understading, the weight is close to their existing wheels. I don't have any exact specs for that. I would think that they would be a little lighter since they don't have all the hardware holding a 3-piece wheel together.

Their official release date is Nov 1st, just a little over a week away. I know they have different offsets available for wide body and narrow body cars. As for price, I'm in the dark on that one. I'm hoping for a good price so I can pick up a set of them.

Awesome wheeils and killer car! What are the price for a set?

 

Those wheels are a nice and I love that 993!

 

Fiskes are awseome....i love thier 2 step lips

 

Ok, I got the weight of the wheels. Fronts are 21 and the rears are 23.

For price, check with your favorite Fikse dealer, or call Fikse directly.

Thanks,
David
