Default Fikse Chroma 7 available now in Turbo fitments!



We've receieved the first image of Fikse's new 19" Monobloc Chroma 7. This design is the 2nd in their new line of 1-piece flow-formed forged wheels, featuring a brilliant finish that is sure to turn heads, and all the quality you've come to expect from Fikse!


It's available now in the following fitment for the 996 Turbo:

Front: 19x8.5 ET51

Rear: 19x11 ET38


Pricing is available on our site here: Fikse Chroma 7 Pricing

We should have some more pictures of this wheel coming very soon!

What do you guys think?

they look real good. why are most aftermarket wheels for the 996tt are almost all in 19's? i personally think 19's are too big and diminishes ride quality.

Alot depends on the tire choice. We recommend Michelins for most Porsche applications because their sidewalls tend to preserve the ride quality a bit more when upsizing wheels.

Regarding the popularity of 19s on these cars, they're just the natural step up from 18s and most people do want to go bigger than stock it seems.
