Fesler wheels
I would dearly love these on my Truck one day, but at $900 a pop all four corners.....well I'd need a lottery win.
So does anyone know of a wheel that is similar in style to these made by Fesler, and a whole lot cheaper? ![]() ![]()

Re: Fesler wheels
If all else fails they would be the best substitute...but i'm really into that rivet type deal round the outside.
Price is great...just under a grand all four. Thanks N2TRUX

Re: Fesler wheels
Actually Centreline do these as well...you pretty much solved this problem in one post N2TRUX
![]() Maybe not as sleek as the Fesler versions, but far more affordable ![]() ![]()

Re: Fesler wheels
Apparently you have never owned a set of wheels with rivets. Having owned a set of true 3 piece wheels, I can attest that it is impossible to clean around the hardware, much less polish them.
I rarely say "never" but that is something I will never own again.

Re: Fesler wheels
What about getting the smoothies and then having someone airbrush on the rivets and then clearing over them???
Could be done in black or over the polished... Just a thought as cleaning would be a little easier that way ![]()

Re: Fesler wheels
Those just don't have the same look. With out a smooth lip, they look dated. Not old school, just dated.

Re: Fesler wheels
Nigel,
It's tough for us in the US to see some of these wheels without gagging, only because we've grown up with them on every rusty crap-pile 'hot rod' that was ever around. With you having more 'virgin eyes' you can probably appreciate some of these more that we can. I do know that I've seen those centerlines on everything from mid '70's Dodge Darts, to early '90's Ford Rangers... those were the greatest wheels to have in high school... until they were replaced with the dead sexy 5 bladed directionals! If you like them, then run them... No one in the UK will even notice ![]() Shawn |

Re: Fesler wheels
Also if they are three piece and you are putting some power to them they start leaking around the seal after a few years. This becomes a pain in the ass but they usually have some beautiful soft lips to the wheel. Trust me, I am having to have mine re-sealed on my Z-06 this year...
