Post Fikse Profil5 group buy?

I am really jonesing for a set of Fikse profil 5's with race satin finish, and I can't seem to find a deep discounter on these things! Anyone have any bright ideas or want to try a group buy?? TIA

<a href="http://www.fikse.com/profil5.html" target="_blank">Fikse Profil 5's</a>

May be poor timing considering the date!

If you can get a group buy, I would be interested in the Profil 10.

Why don't you try Paul at Radial Tire in Silver Spring Maryland? I just bought the non-profil version there two weeks ago. (unless you're M. Schumacher I doubt if you're gonna notice the lower weight).

Also I got the satin center with the regular polished rims (kind of by accident) but they really look great. Much easier to clean than the FM10's we also have and even better looking. I think they make a 993 look "tougher"; with the 10's it looks "pretty".

Let me see what I can work out w/ Paul. I've known him for quite some time now.. I just don't know if he does enough volume on Fikse to have a huge discount.. I will get back to you guys in a little bit... I would be getting FM10s...

It was $4,250 2 10X18 and 2 8x18 with the satin centers ($50 extra per wheel). But that included Hoosiers too. I'll have to find the receipt to see what the Fikse's alone were.

I'll bet he would be glad to give an even better group discount. He's a good guy who's always helped me and others locally.

Hoosiers would be right around $1000 for 18's maybe $900 if you are lucky so looks like your wheel cost is about $3200, $800 a piece.

Let's see what the group buy price would be.........

Just got off the phone w/ Paul.

I need you guys to get me the exact types and sizes you want. Then I can get you a more accurate quote on pricing.

I need wheel type, width and size.

Paul sounded very willing and happy to do this... (didn't mean to steal your post George... I just figured I'd call Paul since I want some too !!! I just dropped off my wheels to fit them w/ Hoosiers)
