hey goodfella, those rims are supernice!! and so are yours jon!!! i keep on seeing these really nice rims and such. . . i might just keep mine stock. its like an overload thing ya know. haha.

paul

 

No, but I had to take a poke at Jon's physique, and that was the first thing that popped to mind

I'm sure a bunch of 'short little midget bastard' responses will follow shortly

 

Ahh...so Vosko's first name is Jon?...I always just call him "Vosko"

Nothing wrong with being a short little midget bastard...

 

Hey, it's SGT's Time over here at Fort Hood! Why aren't you in Kevlar, LBE and Pro Mask out training? Get out from behind that computer---expect a Counseling Statement before COB

 

LOL...We finished SGT time training over here about 10 hours ago!!! it's 10 at night...


...plus we're in the middle of a "typhoon" now

 

its very original for rich. every single thread. vosko your fat. i'm gonna cry at work now

 

yet i can still drag race better than you

 

LOL. Hey, it's your waistline, dood. And I definitely don't accuse you of being a lardass every thread--prolly every other thread

 

When have we ever been at the strip at the same time? I could say I can roadrace better than you (and I think I can) but I haven't because I'd be talking out of my ***, something you obviously don't have a problem with.

And the last time you brought this up, I invited you to speak with me about it in person at MADs. Surprise, surprise, you never said a word

 

That's a real good deal rich, like less then half price. Glad you got them, now go sell your organs

 

vosko, you need to chill man, when you said you would never pay $750 for two rims, that was a pretty ignorant if you actually read the original post. He obviously really wanted these wheels and so what if he spends that much on wheels? dont hate and post useless opinions just cause you cant afford brand name rims "there are only 3 sets of my rims... blahblahblah" yea and by looking at them i can see why... eww man, who would buy those things? now stop acting like youre my age and grow up



oh and, great Fikse rims btw, i like!

 

hmmm, obviously you don't know much about vosko and his car. I highly doubt he can't afford to pay for brand name rims, go check out the NE section and look at how much he has spent on his car.

 

Are you guys done bickering over rims yet??? lol


stokedxiv: Vosko's "one of 3 sets" wheels are Racing Beat wheels... IMO those are brand name...

 

i was afraid this would happen... when i posted my thread i re-read it and then i went and edited it again... for everyones info i was joking around but after i read my original i knew that it may not come off that way so i went back and addes a few more smileys and things... i know how much vosko has spent and its more than what i could afford i was just givin him a hard time, thats all... cause personally i really love those Fikse rims

sorry for the confusion... must not be able to express sarcasm very well online i guess

 

you did ? i don't remember. what did you bring up ? i must have been smoking too much crack that day :p

i'm an ok road racer. i sort of know how to take turns but i've only done it once. drag racing on the other hand......

 

those fikse rims are nice but i just don't want them. its not even an issue of affording. i could buy volk TE37 Magnesium's if i felt like but i don't want them. anyone can do with their car,money, etc whatever they want. it doesn't affect me

my rims are 3 piece racing hart tracer type c's custom made for racing beat. anyway. i posted just to break rich's *****

 

Nice rims, now contact Rishie to get the fronts.

 

Buy me some then because I'm exactly the other way around... I want them but I can't afford them(1k+ a wheel)...

 

how much do those Fikse wheels weigh....?

 

I just spoke with a very helpful employee at Fikse.

FM5s/FM10s:

17x8.5: 19.2/17.3 lbs
17x10: 20.1/18.1 lbs

Pretty damn light. When I told him how light our stock FD rims are, the guy was very impressed .

 

Rich,

Are the 17x8.5 (front) 19.2 lbs each or 17.3 lbs each?
Same question with the rear.

BTW, sorry I didn't to make it out to the Atlanta meet when you were in the area. Maybe next time since you seem to float around, base to base.

Tim

 

Hi Tim,

FM5s and FM10s are two different styles of fikse rims. go to fikse.com to check them out.

no problem about the atlanta meet--I didn't make it either

Rich

 

Tim: Look at Rich's post again and note that he is giving the weights for the FM5s and the FM10s. The former is 19.2 lbs while the latter is 17.3 lbs in 17x8.5 sizing.

I thought it interesting that the FM10s is about the same weight as the stock 17x8.5 wheels. Figured they'd be a little lighter.

 

But the Fikses should be a lot stronger

The Kinesis (as per a Kinesis rep) told me K58s 18x10 weigh in at about 20lbs. Someday..........

 

Props To rich!

First 368 rw on stock twins...and Now on his way to putting on some Fikse wheels. Rich, you know those Fikse's are my one of my fav's. Those and HRE's. I'm sorry guys, but these wheels are on a level on its own. 17 x 10 Fikse with brand new 275's on em for 750...
