Justin, what size are those wheels?

JC951

18x8.5 and 18x10...offsets are unknown as HRE doesn't mark the wheels. They were on the car when I bought it. one of the rear wheels I sent back to HRE to get new outer and inner barrels...the other three need to be repolished and new hardware because the bolts are a little rusty

Fikse went out of business?

JC951

supposedly thats the word around the block for the past couple months

Nurburger

Yep - they closed their doors after taking payments from customers - fully knowing that they would not be able to fulfill the order... Others have wheels there for repair (paid) that cannot get them back.

I've read that Jeff Alton is in negotiations to buy the company & restore order. You can search his name to get an idea of who he is.

OP - there is usually a set of Fikse's floating around the board for sale.... you should also take a look at Work Brombachers. They are not as light as Fikse, but definitely a nice looking wheel & cheaper too.

I just saw this...my car is not black...in some light it looks black, but it is actually anthracite metallic or graphite metallic

CCWs are excellent. Very lightweight and high quality. Good price too.

Theres a set of brombachers on pelican i think.

JC951

Blitz, I would look at the CCW instead of the HRE's. If someone wants to buy my HRE's I would buy a set of CCW's in a heartbeat

Justin,
What CCW's are you interested in. I considered the LM20's but CCW said they wont fit on my 86. I am considering some of the one piece wheels.

blitz951

Why dont you like the HRE's Justin?
Do you have an 86? I wonder why you dont have more of a lip on your wheels if you do have an 86 turbo. When I had my Fikse's on order they told me I would have a significant lip on the wheels given the offset.

JC951

because HRE's are going to cost you three times as much per wheel as the CCW's will. Unless you buy a used set of HRE's like mine (shameless plug). I like my HRE's though. Just cant justify 1500 bucks per wheel brand new. CCW's are great looking and dont weight that much. CCW classic wheel starts off at 550 and the lm20 is around 600 i think. Yeah mine is an 86'. It might be that I have brembo big blacks up front and a 968 6speed conversion with the M030 setup. I dont really know. wheels came on the car when I bought it. Don't know how old they are, but I would definately get a set of CCW's in a heartbeat if i was able to.
