Fikse look alikes

I think the Fiske Mag wheels would work really well for the look of my Ghia but they are expensive, about $2700 from wheelenhancement. So does anybody know of any "replicas" or just wheels of the same style (thick 5 spoke)?

These are the Fiske Mag wheels.

I know of no replicas. but they are expensive for a resson. most "replica" wheels can be heavy compaired to the real thing. With the Fikse you can also get wheels talored to your needs (for the most part)
Kinessis is also a nice wheel, but also pricy.

Simply getting what you pay for...
Thats my experience

Yeah, I wasnt really expecting to find any straight replicas but maybe just some similarly styled wheels. Of which I have found none that match in size and offset for what I need. Everything is either to big of a diameter or to small of a positive offset.
