Hey Guys,
I found these over on corvetteforum.com. I was wondering if it would be possible to have the offsets changed on these? with fikse being gone and all.

Forgeline told me they can re-hoop Fikse whees since they use the same bolt pattern. I would call them to confirm though. Ask for Scott.

Thats what I wanted to hear. Thanks Steve!
If they can't i guess i will just have to break down and buy some new ones:rolleyes:
Is a re-hoop expensive? Steve I know you did this.

Yea, but they did it for me for free.. magazine deal.

It's cheaper than buying new rims.. Scott should be able to give you a good idea of the cost.

Man I didn't know Fikse went out of business. Glad I already have the ones I wanted.

Yeah just like ITDORUN and many others i am sure, I was about to order a set.
Then I read a thread on here! Oh well there are lots of killer wheels companies out there if this does not work out for me.

Wow, Fikse is outta business? I didnt know. Bad times all around. Too bad they dont all have the obama back-up deal. I guess the restructuring of american companies doesnt include the smaller guys.

Umm, it was prolly four + years ago but there was a company in the san fernando valley, Ca. that was willing to re-hoop some centers for me at 400 a piece. And that was a soild center (billet) with polishing. No colors if the center has color. And no coating, like a clear coat. Just a remounting of a billet center then polished out. 400 a wheel wasnt bad. If yer interested Ill look through all my old emails and see if I can find the company. JR

I talked to forgeline and they are working on a blot pattern for fikse wheels, sounds like it will be about $275 a wheel. I just cant get the guy who has them for sale to reply to my pm's.
