Fikse Profil 13 Forged Aluminum Wheels With Michelin Tires
 
3 Attachment(s)
I sold my MCS and am now selling my wheel and tire set. These are semi-custom Fikse Profil 13 Forged Aluminum wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

The wheels are 17" and extremely light. They are Race Black (described by Fikse as: For that aggressive, performance driven look, our Race Black finish features a dramatic, deep, black anodized finish on the center and a mirror polished rim.). I would characterize the condition of the wheels as a 9 of 10.

The tires are Michelin Pilot Super Sport 215/45ZR17 with under 5,500 miles on them. The wheels are perfectly balanced, have never been puncture or damaged and already have the TPMS in them.

The wheels are 17 x 8, +32 mm offset, and weigh 18 lbs. The wheels will clear all of the big brake kits.

According to Fikse:

Fikse’s Profil wheel line represents the leading edge of wheel design and technology. The Profil (“pro-feel”) line is our highest performing consumer wheel, to date. They offer improved acceleration, handling, braking, and fuel efficiency for your sports car. The Profil line was developed using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of each and every design in the series. This allowed us to finely tune the wheel shapes and reduce unnecessary weight; as lower weight is a key factor for improving wheel performance.

Profil wheels are forged from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy; this aircraft-grade aluminum is heat treated for a higher yield strength than your typical aluminum wheel. This allows us to create stronger, more stable wheels, while maintaining a low weight. We developed a new manufacturing technique specifically for the Profil line. The wheel centers are sculpted using a new profile that uses less mass. Along with our new manufacturing process this design enhances the structural rigidity of the center.

*** PRICE REDUCED ***

I am asking $1800 shipped to your door for the wheel and tire set which ran over $5,000.

If they're available late July, I would love these. Great set of wheels.

The quality of these wheels would suit your JCW GP2 quite well.

There's a good chance this wheel/tire package will still be available then given the cost and my inability to go any lower on the price.

Until they find a new Mini to run on, they will have some downtime in climate controlled storage. :)

Best of luck on the sale (I do hope they're around when I'm ready though)

Do they include the TPS in each valve stem?

ttt as the race season nears

11mcsaz 05-08-2014 06:27 AM

ttt - these are the last, best wheels you can buy for your MC, no exaggeration!

jontatt 05-08-2014 08:39 AM

very fair price for this setup. If I could put them on my car while living in Boston and feel safe parking in the street I could start saving my pennies. But I can't. So free bump for you and congrats to whoever buys these are they are SICK!!!

11mcsaz 05-09-2014 10:51 AM

Tru dat! :thumbsup:

Since it is fairly certain that I won't be coming back to owning a MC now, I am finally ready to move this incredible wheel set.

11mcsaz 05-11-2014 03:22 PM

Price reduced

11mcsaz 05-17-2014 07:36 PM

Bump for the very best wheels and tires you can put on your Mini!

Nice wheels. I've always loved Jim Fikse's work... from his first prototype center lock he made for his Corrado back in the 90's.
