Fiske was going out of business, or had gone bankrupt, and Kodiak bought their tooling and rights to make the wheels. Apparently, they will be operating out of the same location that Fiske used and will retain some of the Fiske employees.

Cool, those are pretty and now that I see them side by side, the spoke profile is different on the CCWs.

Man... those are expensive wheels... but I guess if you want a specific wheel size and off-set and your car has an odd bolt pattern (Volvos are 5 x 108mm), the options are limited.

Does put evil thoughts into my head if I want to run my TDI in H-Stock and want a set of light-weight 15x6" wheels...
