Default Ever Looked/Owned Fikse Wheels?

So I'm wheel shopping for future Purchase. I have been looking around for a while, and instead of going with something that almost everyone on the forum has done before me, I am trying to look into something different. [Enters] Fikse Wheels...

Has anyone here had any experience with these wheels before? Good, or Bad.
Ever seen any of these on a Z? the only ones I found were the 5S on a white Z after searching on Google

http://www.fikse.com/wheels/profil/

What i'm looking into is the Profil 10 (pro-feel)
19 X 9.5 and 19 X 11
Fikse wheels have great sizing, however, I have not seen any offsets yet, I'm sure they are custom. But they have wheels up to 13" wide. The width of the wheels have nothing to do with the price, only the diameter. 17", 18", and 19"

Really, any info would be great. Or possibly share pics of others' cars with these wheels?

Thanks in Adv

Fikse makes some pretty nice stuff. Just some inside info, many of the 3 piece wheel forgings made in the US is sourced from Centerline. They used to make wheels, now they make the aluminum forged centers, the lips/barrels is sourced from Triangle Alloys. Not sure about now but HRE lips/barrels used to have Triangle Alloy stamped on the barrels.



Anyways I had these custom made last year. Similar CNC milled process with Centerline forgings.

I did a search for "Fikse wheels" and found the following old threads:

I don't know anyone who has ever run these wheels nor have I ever seen a set in person
