Default Check this wheel company out - FLIK... Ever heard of 'em?

I was searching around the Edge Racing website, a wheel distributor in the States, and came up to this...

A new wheel company, called FLIK, that makes JDM-look wheels, and some of the look quite nice...

Here's a preview.


(1) Flik Blast (Avail. Silver, Bronze, White + Black) - 15"



(2) Flik Apex (Silver, Black, White) - 15"-16" =>I'm buying these...



Here's the site if any of you are interested. They are pretty cheap too; and come in packages/bundles with Falken Azenis...

They're pretty nice, but all the print on the lip kinda brings it down.

Specs please?

Looks just like another Rota Slipstream or whatever Desomond Rega knock-off.



Still neato though, but nothing revolutionary.

They just buy them bulk from rota and either restamp them or have rota put their branding on them. Common practice in this business.

They look nice... Maybe because they look like Spoon/Rota/Regamaster?

The writing on the lips is only stickers, like the O.Z. F1 Cups. You can take it off if you really don't like it, I presume.

Personally, I like the writing that says "Flik" on the wheel itself, but the stuff that says "Racing Motor Sports" on the lip has to go...

There is 5x100 in one of the wheels, the "APEX", but not in the "BLAST"

jdm huh? for some reason i keep thinking for something to be "JDM-look" it HAS to come from the Japanese Domestic Market! and those wheels are nothing but copies anyway, if you havent seen them then WAKE UP you must be a sleep.

I too wonder what a "JDM-look" wheel is supposed to look like.

I could have sworn those ultra-JDM 5 spoke Desomnd/SPOON wheels are made in RUSSIA...

Just describe them for what they are - Desmond/SPOON knock-offs that are comparable to Rotas.

Still get a from me because they can't be any different than Rotas, which are affordable, light wheels.
