I'm thinking the same thing. Why would you want to spend that much money on wheels? And where would you drive it when you have 24 carat gold and diamonds lining your wheels?

I like Fikse wheels, and they are expensive because they are built to the highest engineering standards. I still wouldn't buy a set, because with wheels you are only one unseen pothole away from disaster.

Those wheels look like copies of typical aftermarket chrome-plated bling that you can find in any import tuner magazine... except for the gold and diamonds, of course. They break no new ground, technology- or construction-wise, however.
But hey, if someone is willing to pay five figures for a can of wax, there must be a market for these things...

The people that buy those probably change wheels monthly out of boredom..

Did you see their "wheel care" section? They recommend a 50/50 Simple Green mixture to clean them! They do not recommend "off the shelf" wheel cleaners.
I don't know about you guys, but given all those great, dedicated gentle wheel cleaners, I'd never let SG touch my aftermarket wheels. |
