Can anyone tell me the difference between Fuchsfelge Fuchs and Fikse Fuchs wheels? Besides the price........is one better than the other?......thanks

Fikse is a three-piece wheel, forged center and barrel with hidden hardware (backside). It is only available in 17" at this time. (Used on all the Singer cars if you want to see good pics of them).

The Fuchsfelge wheel is a single-piece forged wheel. It is available in 17", 18" and 19". The latter two sizes are styled slightly differently.

The Fikse is far more accurate in terms of replicating the look of the older 16" wheels. The Fuchsfelge version is redesigned a bit (by the original company, of course!). Generally a single piece wheel is a bit stronger (at the limits) than a multipiece, however I don't know how these two specific examples stack up.

Those Fuchs 17"s look absolutely fantastic.

I think I may even prefer them over Rufs.

The Fikse "Fuchs" are really nice but extremely expensive and priced only in $US even though they're made in Vancouver. Fikse calls them the "Specialty Series". They're available in both 17'"and 18". I emailed the company about a set last year but decided not to proceed because of the cost.

The Fikse version is a fantastic wheel. Strong, light and I think price is commensurate with other GOOD wheels.
