Looking for custom wheel manufacturers...

[UNHCLL]

HRE.

And its FiKse, not FiSke! ;)

I want Fikse FM-5's more than Heeter wants to get laid

there are tons of custom wheel companies, just depends on how much you wanna pay. basically any 3-piece wheel company can make custom wheels. htn, tramont, image, pls, kerscher, j-line, hre, iforged, fikse, etc. imo, hre's and iforged's are overpriced and not worth it. they are more for bling factor than actually drivability. any of those companies will make you some wheels in whatever offset and width you want. image, for example, on their site has a form for measuring to get the exact offset you would want and the width. image wheels are made in the UK, so they take a lil longer, but they would be original and are about 2 grand a set for custom made 16s (i looked into it :) ). thats the end of my wheel story. im no pro or anything though.

My favorite site:

https://www.felgen-man.de

Click on the US flag for English, and they have a for sale page, along with someone who can get you BBS RS's in whatever size you want and other wide wheels...You can choose the inner shell size, and outer shell size for that perfect width and offset, that is, if you want BBS RS's.

CCW is probably the best bang for your buck as far as custom wheels go. VERY light, and I believe they start at about $400/wheel. www.ccwheel.com
Search the track forum on www.bimmerforums.com -- tons of the hardcore Auto-x'ers use them.
I believe Turner is using them on their World Challenge cars now, too.

I can get you a little over 10% off a set of those wheels.... DrMcDave is having a set built right now for his iX....

If you are interested post in that topic or send me a PM.

That site makes me happy in my special places. Especially the OZ Futuras...

felgen-man has had some bad reviews though. people getting wheels not in the condition the pictures were and having to wait for like 6 months to get the wheels and find out there is something wrong and having to wait another 6 months to get it fixed, blah blah. i guess that is part of buying super euro wheels that arent readily available on this side of the pond.

[Dave]

I have heard of more than acouple of people having trouble with J-line screwing up orders - big delays. But I also know someone with issues with CCW and Kodiak.

The custom wheel manufacturers take your money and then you wait. . .

[euro gangsta]

yeah, well any custom made wheel is gonna take some time.

True, but everyone I know who has dealt with J-Line, CCW and Kodiak has had delays beyond what was promised.

[euro gangsta]

thats not good to hear. ive heard good things about the wheels themselves, but it would suck to throw down that much money and have to wait even longer or worse, wait that long and get the wrong wheels or them not fit right or something. thats the hard part about ordering custom wheels. you can get them to fit perfectly if you get the right measurements, but if the manufacturer screws up on one thing, then you have to start all over :(

[Dave]

One guy is waiting on some J-lines - they told him after delays that they mistakenly sent his wheels out to someone who ordered an identical set and that it would be at least two more months before he gets his, but they'd pay the shipping.

Sad.

[euro gangsta]

if they did that to me, they would be paying for more than the shipping.
