Besides Fikse who can supply wheel halves for Fikse wheels?
I have a Fikse outer wheel half with damage that needs replaced. I know I can send it to Fikse to be repaired, but they charge almost the cost of a new wheel to repair the old one. I am fully capable of installing a new wheel half myself. Does anybody know who can supply wheel havles for Fikse wheels, or a race shop that Fikse will send wheel halves to?
Thanks in advance.

I would send it out Doug. I repaired 2 CCW classic wheels that had relatively minor tweaks in them. Both had new outers and one an inner too. The one I replaced both halves on had a bent center also! Couldn't see it until we tried balancing it. Ended up sending it back just to be sure and that was it.

Forgeline and Kodiak wheels (Canada) offer wheel halves. I think a Forgeline polished half is only $200. I plan on ordering two halves from Forgeline in a week or two as they are the only company that can supply reverse-lip halves for my Kinesis wheel.

Doug, some places advertise within Pano or Grassroots Motorsports that claim they can straighten a bent wheel. I can't remember who I used many years ago when I had a forged 944 Turbo S wheel repair for about $150 and it worked out fine. Perhaps somewhere in Atlanta area?

Fikse is going under so do not send anything to them until things get settled. Wheel Enhancement is their largest distributer. Maybe ask for Will. I heard he now works there. He used to work at Fikse.

This whole thing is very sad but it's been a long time coming. I've known about this for months. I used to run FM5's on one of my cars, absolutely loved them. They are great wheels.
If you guys ever need replacement Fikse parts, I can still get them.

FYI, Fikse has been sold to a BC company, and Jeff Alton can help you get anything "Fikse" you need done. He has a ton of Fikse inventory, pieces-parts, etc.
PM me if you need his contact info.
