What do you think?

LINKY!!! (http://www.edgeracing.com/wheels/flik/)

Specifically the fifth set down, the Blast C.

Looks like a nice wheel, and you cannot beat the price. Anyone have any input on the quality of these wheels or the service from this company?

I personally like the Spoon/Rota lookalikes. I have never heard of these Rims though, has anyone, or does anyone have them? They look real nice and are really lightweight, I'm thinkin' about getting 'em.

all i gotta say is you get what you pay for.

Not to bust on you, but exactly where did you here that Flik wheels were low quality? I have not found much, if any info on them at all.

While I will agree that you generally get what you pay for, once in a rare while you find some true bargains that are high quality products. I don't know if that is the case here, but at $89 a wheel it may be worth a look. Many of the other wheels listed sell for more, so this could be an intro or a special. I am just wondering if anyone has FIRST HAND info on this company or these wheels.

i know of a lot of VW owners riding on Flik wheels. i think its just the funny name that gives them the bad rep. people just assume its bad quality. look at rota wheels, they're cheap but i'd say the quality is pretty good. anyone hear of someone having a problem with rota wheels? its worht a shot. for $89 a wheel, you can't go wrong. i'd say go for it.

That's what I'm talking about. A knock-off is a knock-off. If it looks good and is of decent quality then the VALUE is there. I like the Fuel Carbon model as well. I just did not want to spend the money if the wheels were crap overall and wanted some first-hand impressions.

Not just have i had 3 sets of FLIK wheels i also work there, these wheels are strong and light and i autocross, i had a integra gs-r before my EP-hatch and i autocross with them and never had any problems, i have landed on railroad tracks hard and nothing, this wheels are cheap, light and strong. Here in florida many people have them and many autocrossers use them and no complains. Would recomend to any friends, and belive me many of my friends do have them.

By the way the blast come in at the end of the month, probably next week, so if any questions got to edgeracing.com, by the way im not a sales person, im the warehouse manager. Not trying to sell just give my opinion.

Hmmm, I think its quite possible the Fliks come off the same phillipine assembly line as Rotas...just like some of the Konigs do.

good price if ya ask me...excellent service, very friendly people


i looked and held their wheels...they are really nice. Large selection of very well done and lightweight imitations.
