Default Fikse Wheels on 911 Carrera

Here are a couple pictures of a 911 Carrera we just made wheels for. In the factory one day, on the track the next. These are 17" Fikse FM10wheels in Race Satin.
Since we acquired the Fikse brand we have shipped over 300 wheels. We are making great strides in improving the product and increasing our inventory to provide the best forged wheels in the least time possible.
We have 8 styles of 17" wheels for the air cooled Carrera. Check out www.fikse.com for all of your wheel options.

Those look great! I had 18" FM10's on my ex-993 and may be interested in a set of 17's for the '89 Carrera widebody that replaced it.

Here's the 993 with Fikses. Probably shoulda kept that one but someone made me an offer that I couldn't refuse...

Jack,
With fewer and fewer choices for 16" tires it makes a lot of sense to get a set of 17" wheels and tires for your Carrera. Call or email me when you are ready. That was a very nice 993 you had.

Certainly a great look - if I was to ever upsize from my little 15" Fuchs, I'd these. What would a set of these rims run - as pictured?

Perhaps I could help move things along here, as I;m looking for a set of 15" Fuchs.

OttawaDave -- What is width and ET of your 15" Fuchs?

Those wheels look quite nice on that car. I also had that same tail on my 1981 Turbo-SC. Best tail design ever.

Hey sig - I don't have the budget for the Fikse's this season, but I'd be hanging onto my Fuchs in any case. They're 7"/8", factory equipment on my 85 coupe. Don't know the offsets off the top of my head.

Alan, thanks for the reply, the FM10's look great, but will have to wait for the time-being. That said, do you guys have Canadian distributors/dealers?

Cheers,
Dave

Fuchs offset Front 15x7: 23.3 mm
Fuchs offset Rear 15x8: 10.6 mm

I would rather sell my 17" 8 and 9 wide Fikse than my original Fuchs 15" 7 and 8 wide. I want another set of 15" wheels as I think they are somewhat lighter than 17" or 18" wheels so popular on air cooled Carreras. If you change your mind, perhaps a trade. original to me in 2008.

Style is "MAG" to mimic Fuchs design, and they are optioned with clear "race anodized" coating. 9 of 10 condition or nearly perfect.
