FIKSE Wheels WARNING

Fikse USA wheels is no longer returning phone calls or e-mails and someone who lives in south Seattle said they drove over to their office and saw no activity. TireRack says they are toast. I had sent Fikse a wheel to be repaired in mid-Sept. They charged my credit card and said it would be 5 weeks. Now I can't get my wheel back. Fortunately, I learned today that I had 60 days to dispute a charge on my card- I just made it!

Fikse has closed it's doors as of 2 weeks ago... Unfortunately they did make excellent wheels but that doesn't justify not giving you a call back or getting your wheel back.

Hopefully things work out

Yep, seems I'm the last to know. Like BBS, Kinesis, etc., I hope someone buys Fikse out of bankruptcy too. Perhaps Mr. Fikse could have kept better faith with his customers with a warning or a public announcement before locking the doors. Only chance I can think to get my wheel back now is to call the Better business bureau.
