Fikse wheel$.....

Gee, they are a beautiful wheels, but veeery expensive. Better use half of the price to add a performance upgrade (the valvetrain: 1.6 RR, springs, pushrods, guideplates,studs etc).
Does somebody know about Fikse-like wheels (the FM5 is my election)?

I like the FM5's. If you like the Fikse's, you will probably also like the iForged wheels as well. They are priced just a hair less than the Fikse's but still very good quality and style. You will probably like the FS-6 or the lightweight Aero's.

The last set of modular wheels (American Racing Equipment) I had were very susceptible to being damaged by pot holes. All 4 of them you couldn't get a tire to run true on because of damage. The metal rings dented and bent very easily. I hit a pot hole one time and it bent the rim so far that the bead let go and it went flat in a second. I will never buy modular wheels again. I believe solid aluminum wheels are stronger

Thanks Jeff for your warning about this kind of wheel construction.
Well, Kevin, the iForged are great!! too; anyone of them.
I have to save some money in order to get them, beautiful wheels, indeed.
Thanks a lot guys

The only trade off is that generally, forged wheels are a little heavier. I like the Fikse' but can't swallow the price for a set of those. You can buy multiple sets of other decent quality wheels for the same dough and throw them away if they get bent.

Yes Joe, you're right. I'll try to find some alike, those are my favorite style, anyways I have to do more find work.
Thanks man
