2 weeks ago, i lost a fix mid wheel, right side - the mount was there, but no wheel. last week, the other side mount was loose(wheel there) and the bolt head dug into my rails.
The front rail mount was also loose...bolt heads were digging groves into my rails and i lost 1 of the front wheels(left side)...didn't loose it, it slid over on the shaft to be next to the right wheel. i thought these were low snow wheels that could take a pounding. looks like they don't like the hard/icy snow conditions of late in the season. its funny cause when i bought them FIX said that they should last for years, they have never replaced any. over $200 in wheels gone and need to be replaced. i will call fix and see what they say.

Good luck they will probably find a whole list of reasons why its your fault. I have not had ANY good relations with fix in the past.

fix
when i puchased the front wheel kit my wheels blew out within
300 miles adn also snapped the axle, fix replaced it free,
this year both wheels are shot , i replaced the wheels with
wahl bros, which are cheaper and so far so good with 1500
miles on them.

I was going to get a wheel kit but I'll pass now.. I emailed them too asking a question over a week ago and haven't got an answer.
Stay away from business's like that. That's the lesson I've learned in life.

That's interesting... If the dealer told them, they were defintely NOT on your side. Even still, I still think they should have warrantied it. Call Customer Service.sburtch said:i have the same fix kit. same problems, blew at 1000 kms on a run to cochrane. they have now told me it is becuase i'm not running the fourth wheel kit. what ever. my bigget problem now is i have cracked rear rails & yami says they will not warranty because i drilled the rails for the fix kit. even though the cracks are not even close to wheel kits.
