Default Cheapest place to buy Fikse rims?

Anyone know where is the cheapest or just cheap place to buy a set of Fikse wheels. Called the company and they quoted me a price of $4,027.00, that was for a set of 18x9.5 and 19x10.5 respectfully, fully polished, or high polished what ever you want to call it! Any help would be appreciated greatly! If you have any suggestion or comment please chime in and help me out? Thank you!! ;)

There is none. Lingenfelter is average. Exotic Muscle is about the same. Doug Rippie is in between. If you can get in touch with SW at Elite Motorsports in Austin Tx, he will try to give you a decent deal. They just cost a mint. I've wanted some for a LONG time but for four grand, there are a lot of go fast parts I need.

At first glance it looked high. However since you chose 19" rear it jumps to a new line called the "profield"...more expensive. Profield applies to all the models when doing a 18/19 combo. If that $4000 price is complete for the 18/19, and you were quoted correctly with the polished wheels you are getting a decent deal. Actually better than Fikse would like. Double check your quote.

Nobody is cheaper than Fikse direct. Does your quote reflect their 15% direct discount? These rims are very expensive, but in my humble opinion worth every cent! One other thing - I think someone is selling some used Fikse's on the C5 Parts For Sale/Wanted section of the Forum.

If you buy them direct from Fikse you will get your eyes poked out. :yesnod: :cheers:

Lingenfelter is the cheapest. Fikse would not give me a discount for ordering direct. I bought mine through discount tire locally and they beat lingenfelter's price. Many forum vendors will match Lingenfelter's price if you ask.
