Thought something was up when they weren't returning a guy's calls from on here. Shame. Guess my wheels just got more rare!

Man that is crap. I was looking to send in my rears in the springs to get re-hooped into 12's too.

Looks like though, someone mentioned that Forgeline would be able to rehoop Fikse wheels. Anyone know if this is true? Any Forgeline dealers on here?

WOW, I just dont understand some companies. Especially like this one. Why if you knew you were gonna be goin out did they not contact all distributors & tell them to no longer offer their products cause they wouldnt be available. It's only some phone calls & thats not too much to ask.

It seems like these companies are either tryin to scrape as much last minute cash as they can without informing customers or they are just flat out too pussy to tell the industry they are goin under. Lots of places in the automotive market have gone under in the past couple years, so it's not like it's that big a deal to explain circumstances & save your company name.

What a shame.

I've always wanted a set of FM-10s.

It's sad to see a company with such a great reputation, and fantastic products throw in the towel

Did I miss something in the link? Does it say somewhere that Fikse is going out of business?

FWIW, with the economy being so tight, people are having to make decisions between food and rent vs. bling for the car. Sadly, the bling usually loses, and over time, this cascades and the business is forced to close, due to lack of sales. In all honesty, there's nothing like a good set of wheels to make a car "pop", but when you're talking $2800-3200 for wheels, sometimes you just have to make hard decisions.....
