Fikse is a nightmare. It is easy to find plenty of complaints about them. I filed a complaint with the BBB and they did not even respond.
BBB Complaint Case#1234811(Ref#16-1251561-1234811-6-500):
“
Per Fikse's request, I sent my wheels to Chris's German Auto (John Robison - 425.462.****) to be repaired and widened. In order for Chris's German Auto to complete this relatively simple task, they require parts from Fikse.
The parts were ordered in April 2010. It is now July. Fikse has undergone ownership changes and growing pains will occur. But Fikse has been given more than enough patience.
Communication is nearly nonexistent. Fikse's Danny Goll asked me not to contact them for updates and to ask Chris's German Auto. Chris's German Auto does not control the parts from Fikse. Fikse VP Allen Baylis called me and presented a nonfunctional email address. He was to call me one week later and did not. I did not have the proper contact information for Mr. Baylis, so I was completely in the dark. I left messages for him at Fikse and did not receive a call until one week later.
There was never any indication it would take any near this amount to time to receive my wheels back. My 2006 GTO has been just sitting in a repair shop waiting for the wheels to get back from Chris's German Auto since March 2010. I need my car back ASAP.

Some people like Fikse rims. But you have to be careful not to sneeze around them…mine were easily cracked and bent.
