Thanks,

Shouldn't be a problem since I won't need them until mid-March. That's why I ordered early (hopefully early enough)...

When I ordered my FM-10's from Paul at Radial Tire, I was told it would be a four week wait, and it was. Maybe I caught them at a slow production time. BTW, Travis at Fikse was great to deal with and very informative.

Default Race Satin Anodized lips and center

Jerome,

I think you'll be happy with the look and ease of maintenance of the race satin anodized finish. The FM-5's should be easier to wash, as well, without the added nooks and crannies.

Where did you get the great looking center caps that you have on your Fikse's? (and how'd you mount that caliper on the bottom?...)

I invert suspend my car with a hoist in my garage... just kidding.

Regarding the center caps, I believe that Boothe inlaid the crest on some anodized Fikse caps. I also have a set of "Fikse" caps, but they don't lock on! The crest caps lock on from the inside of the wheel with three small screws.

Anir, those FM10s look beautiful on your TT.

I bought Fiske 8 x 17 FM 5 for $ 630 and 9 x 17 for $ 670 from wheel enhancement in September of 2003

Hope this helps

Dennis, thanks for the info. Wheel Enhancement is right in my back yard. I've bought wheels and tires from them in the past, and I'm sure that's were I'll go if I decide to change wheels.
