Fiche wheels?? Anyone heard of em?

Hi all. Saw a set of rims today on a 4th gen camaro SS, and had a chance to talk to the guy. They are Bad *** lookin wheels. Kind of like Z06 rims, but with a more aggressive style, rivets, and a nice lip on the rear rims. I've never seen them before, and on the center caps, it said Fiche. And no it's not Fiske. I tried a google search and I couldn't find anything on them. Just wondering if any of you have heard of that brand?

Everyone and their momma's make wheels now. They are probably some no name brands that he ordeded from the back of an import magazine.

Well even if they are, I'm really curious to see if I can find where to get them. I'd just like to know pricing on them and what sizes theyre offered in.

Ya, I did a big search myself and couldn't come up with anything.
The next thing to do is to pick up one of those import mags and search for the wheels. They have several pages of ad pictures of cool looking wheels.

Are you sure it was not NICHE wheels. This brand was really popular in late 90's and into the early stages of R-icer. They seem to be all bling now.

Wow, those are the rims! Haha, thanks a lot for finding them....must have read the brand name on the center cap wrong because of the funky wording used.

The Venice doesn't look bad, but I'm not a fan of the rivets.
