CP,

yes, the first wheel in your link, better pix here http://fikse.com/profil10.html

jim morton is very familiar with fikses.

no rubber, just tires.

tell wife, you need these for xmas. much cheaper than the car.
then next year, you need a car to fit these wheels.
seriously, think about it. you are close i can just deliver them to you.

John,

No offense, but I like fewer spokes, simpler design. Much easier to clean as well.

Good luck with the sale.

CP, didn't you know that John's wheels come with a clean guarantee. If you buy them, he will come and clean them every single week. What a deal!

if you stop staring at women while you drive you wont bend the rims so fast.
and your 6000 lbs bling GTR isn't helping either.
when you coming back, i make sure i hide my cars so you dont abuse them.

Oh my! If there is any change of rims on my 997 it's these rims! I love the multi spoke, the fact the rim doesn't have those annoying allen bolts everywhere to clean, the big lip and it's a light wheel to boot

I have a question if you don't mind answering? How big/wide is the lip/dish/inset/whateveryouwanttocallit on the front & rear rim? Do you think it would be bigger on a 19"?

AND How the *heck* do you pronounce Fikse

These are awesome rims, buy them someone!

pronounced the way it's spelled, fik seee

the depth of lips will not change from 18 to 19 inch diameter

on my set, the rear lip is about 1-1.5" the front is very shallow as i need space to clear the brakes.

How much ''custom made'' are they?? Is the offset really wierd or could they fit on something else with the hep of spacers?

Do you know your offsets or is it ''Top secret'' information like Iforge is saying!!
