Default Fikse Profil 13 in black for sale

SOLD

Fikse Profil 13 in all black for sale -- $2700 plus shipping -- wheels only/no tires
>Fronts: 8.5 x 18 with 44.5 mm offset
>Rears: 11 x 18 with 63.5 mm offset

Just for reference -- stock OEM 996 gt3 rims are
Front: 8.5 x 18 with 40mm offset
Rear: 11 x 18 with 63mm offset

I bought the rims used from a local RL'er and took them to Fikse and had them inspected, re-anodized and rebuilt with all new hardware in late 2007/early 2008 for $871 for the whole set. (copy of invoice attached)

Since rebuilding, they have seen a couple of track days and then when I got my BBS, I put the street tires on my Fikses and track tires on my BBS... My car has not seen any street driving in quite some time... I used to put the fikse/ps2 back on in between track days for street driving but I now have 2 children under the age of 2 so I have no time for street driving on weekends

I will post close up pics of the individual wheels after I get the tires removed and rims cleaned up... here are a bunch of pictures of them on my car.









Cash or check preferred
Paypal is okay if you pay the 3% fees
Price does not include freight

I do not know how much they weigh but they are pretty light.
Wheels are in Seattle (I am in Portland frequently so I can deliver in Portland etc)

Have seen these in person and are in mint condition as advertised.
Believe the weight is:
Front: @20 Lbs
Rear: @21 Lbs
They seem to be slightly lighter than the BBS E88's.

Are you sure? These are the weights I pulled for 6GT3 wheels from threads on here:


OEM - 24.91 lbs/ 27.34 lbs
Manthey - 15 lbs/17 lbs
Dymag - about same as Manthey. Would like precise numbers if available?
Oz Allegrita HLT (cold cast) - 18.8 lbs/20.4 lbs
BBS LM - 22.0 lbs/26.0 lbs
BBS E88 - 18.6 lbs/ 19.4 lbs
Oz Superleggera III (forged) - 25.1 lbs/ 27.0 lbs

Maybe you are thinking of LMs not E88s?

We'll wait to hear what they weight from PJ. Had my E88's and these Fikse Profil 13's side by side (w/o tires). Didn't have a scale but felt like the profil's where lighter. Please be advised that my E88's have the aluminum centers not magnesium. Speculating that with aluminum centers they run closer to the 20 Lb range.

I have gloss black centers with the painted factory crests that will fit the Fikse's if the purchaser is interested.

I got a PM asking for close up photos... I will take the wheels home from my office and un box them and take close up photos and weigh them on my bathroom scale as soon as my schedule allows.
