Eric,
Thanks for the heads up. FM-5 in that case.

Chad.. again.. keep in mind that this is not going to come cheap... pricing is dependent on everyone staying comitted. I think I will ask Paul for pricing if everyone stays on and if 2 people drop out...

If the pricing were really good, I would commit to a set of FM-10s for widebody car (1996 TT). I'm thinking 8.5x18 and 11.0x18, but will listen to expert opinions on this. I'd prefer gold centers. I need wheels only, and live in So. Cal. Don't tell my wife.

Eric,

Any dealer (or Fikse direct0 will give you 15% off. On the phone, if i'm not mistaken they will offer you this much

I think you need to be negotiating at least 25% with a large buy.

Eric,
Also since Fiske is a Rennlist sponsor, maybe they offer a discount for members, in addition to any group discount you can get. Also, ask about PCA discounts if any since every little bit helps.
Thanks again for thew time and effort you are putting in on our behalf. It is greatly appreciated!!

I'll ask, but I doubt they will discount on top of a Group Buy... I will make sure that we get as much of a discount as we can.

Eric,
Would it help if I contacted Fiske directly? Not trying to get in the way just trying to help! Also, my last post may have come across somewhat arrogant, telling you what to do. That wasn't my intent at all and if it sounded that way I do apologize.

not at all... contacting Fikse probably would not help.

Radial Tire is one of their top dealers... but keep in mind that there are policies in place and Fikse probably would not want to **** off other dealers, etc.

OK guys,

I am not authorized to publically post pricing. Please call Paul at Radial Tire and let him know you are with Rennlist.

I apologize in advance if it takes a while to get through to him, they are VERY busy there.

The number is (301) 585-2740 and ask for Paul.

Sorry I couldn't have made it more convienent for you guys, but Fikse is pretty strict about publically posting pricing as they do not want to anger other vendors and dealers.
