I have a set that I originally got for my Cayman and they are now on my 951. They are light (19 lbs front and 21 lbs rear if memeory serves correct) and relatively inexpensive. Enkei will also recertify them if you send them in. I have primarily used them for DEs, so they have not been truly tested in a race environment by me.

I am surprised (disappointed) with this. I have always loved FM-10's and was saving up for set... is fragility a widely held experience with Fikses?

What do you guys think of this CCW C10? I am not sure of the scalloped look.

Hey Jeff, I had the sp16a. Although they are listed in the street-bling wheels, John has the forging. Had a set on my old RSA.

Jeff Curtis

CWay27 - That RSA looks good with black wheels, I'm starting to dig that look!

WHO makes those wheels??

Yes, the Jongbloed wheels have long been respected, I think they started out in the dragster industry - no?? The wider wheel halves are funky with that "diamond-cut/corrugated" pattern which I assume is for strength?? Just not in love with the look.

As for the Fikse "haters" I just don't see it, I've had ONE friend that had a crack and Fikse took care of it for him, he's on Rennlist as well, so maybe he'll chime in.

I ordered my 17" FM-10s new and beat the holy hell out of them, curbing the car, a few offs, you name it, not one crack (knock on wood) I figure if I can't bend/break them that these people who are bending/cracking them are ANIMALS!!

I would like to be able to afford a set of Mach Vs as previously mentioned, in 18" but the price is up to $4K now...jeeeeeez!!

Mooty, how is it that you can describe bending Fikses like "paper"?? Not challenging you, just curious as to why you figure you've had so much bad luck with them?? I do understand the customer service can be SLOW and EXPEN$IVE...but that's life in the BIG industry, I guess...I just wonder what you're doing to bust 'em up so bad??

How heavy is your car? What tracks are you driving?? These are primarily track wheels so if they're driven on the street, over railroad tracks in a car setup with stiff springs, etc. I can see the problem...otherwise????

MDRUMS, I can say I would despise the "scalloped" look for one reason only...cleaning...maybe 1.5 reasons, not a big fan of the look but wouldn't rule against it altogether.

I am headed towards a set of CCWs but want a pretty good deal on them and BLACK...not into the idea of paying $3K for a set of monoblock wheels...that's a 3-piece price in my book.

I agree that 3-piece wheels seem to be a thing of the past with the direction some manufacturers are headed...no bolts/nuts for added weight, a one-piece monoblock CNC design seems to be ultra-strong and lightweight...just a simple design for the most part...you're paying for the machining time, no doubt.

I like my CCWs but it took a few events because of the "outward" look, I got a lot of "bro" comments and I think it's mainly because I have an older model 911, they look awesome on a 996 and above...but I agree they possibly look out of place on a 964??

I honestly would try a set of the OZ Allegeritas (SP??) if they were in stock, due to the reviews on here...for $1,600 a set and the modern styling they posses.

Mooty, to answer your earlier questions, I am looking for strength/durability, price and styling in that order...customer service has rarely been an issue for me because it seems I just don't bend/break wheels...hopefully I didn't just "vex" myself!

+1 on the Enkeis. Had mine powdercoated black too. Look very sharp. Pretty light, good price, well made. Hard to beat.

mike - those will be a pain to clean but i like them a lot. i'd prefer black tho

mooty

i have had a lot of different brands of hi end wheels. with R6, they all spun on the rims. however, i never had out of balance issues.

the only time it goes off balance is when i lose wheel wts. but that's just vibration. i just ignore it and some of my fast laps were done with unblanced wheels. just hold on tight.

==> sorry, but there are NO new 3 pcs wheels worth using that's at $3k range in 18".

==> cast wheels.. good luck.

==> then CCW is your only choice. it's the only wheel i failed to bent.

.customer service has rarely been an issue for me because it seems I just don't bend/break wheels...hopefully I didn't just "vex" myself!
==> you track your car without driving over the berms? you will save a lot of time if you would just run over the berms.


as for fikses, they did take care of me. but at a very slow pace. patience is not my strong point. last time my dealer needed a week to work on my car, i told them to keep it and bought a new one.

==> not just me. 4 other GT3's total of 6 sets all had hairline cracks. and two of these gt3 are doing sub 2:00 at TH.

i drive on all the CA track except fontana.

these are track wheels, rarely driven on street.

stock springs.

mooty

whoa, that's a new look.
maybe john at CCW was drunk that day?

mooty

i dont have infinite data points
i can only use my own experience and those whom i track with often.

i dont read consumer reports or ask others, i find something i like, i buy, i test it myself. and i didn't like them. but they are very well made. and they have many admirers, but i am not one of them.

Couple more pics of the Enkeis. An undervalued wheel in my book.

mdrums

That is what my wife said. So far most people think they are UGLY. CCW told me they did this to reduce weight int eh wheel but maintain strength.

I am buying Motty's black C10's so these scalloped looking C10 are for sale at CCW. The fronts are not scalloped just the rears.
