Fikse Wheels will be the perfect addition and the two brands will compliment each other perfectly.
“I plan to deliver the same high quality wheels Fikse customers have enjoyed for years but with a new and refreshing business model.” says owner Daryle Redlin, “It’s a great opportunity to continually advance the state of the art – while also offering industry-leading customer service and support.”
Fikse Wheels is targeted to launch into full production on March 1st 2010. The company will offer the same timeless wheel styles as before but with many new fitments and styles coming online as well.

Fikse specializes in road racing wheels. They aren't meant for bling, although they are very nicely machined racing wheels. They do need some new styles though, as their current line has been around since the early 90's.

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.
