They sure are.

I think they made the tri-spoke 19" 997 Turbo wheels. Also the 'Sewerlid' and 'Clubsport' wheels from the late eighties. Probably some others from the modern era.

There was a lapse when Fuchs didn't do anything with Porsche in the '90's, which may have been because of the financial struggle in that era.

Fuchs has made numerous wheels for Audi, Porsche, and more.

Take care,

Can't say that I like the Otto Fuchs style wheels - the design of the outer edges of the petals is just odd.

The Rotiform's look nice, but would look better if they had done a reverse bolt system similar to the Fikse wheels as the hardware detracts from the design.... Nice to see some options though.

I'd love to be able to get this look for the WB 993, though our front offsets won't allow for it...

I believe they do hidden hardware. Vegas993 has those, pics a page or 2 back.

Just ordered up a set for my 964 via the RL group buy. Can't wait!!! Look awesome and way light.
4kg a set lighter than magnesium RS wheels, forged alumnium wheels are hard to beat on weight!

Paul have you gone for the 17s or 18s. I know I've missed the group buy but I figured I have a look at how they sit on yours and then make a choice. When are they coming ?

Hi Mike,

I've bought 18"'s which will fit my existing setup and tyres (see above). ETA is 2 - 3 weeks.

Sent you a PM.

Cheers,
Paul

Here is a pic with hidden hardware posted by lateforlunch as he awaits his set. I am sure they would look great with the same finish as the pics posted above by Todeshandler.

Those who think the wheels posted by Todeshandler are too bling, please be advised you can order them any color, offset, lip combination etc. So if you think it is too bling, that particular wheel could be ordered less bling.

Hi,

Will it be neccessary to fit longer wheel bolts to accomodate 18" Fuchs on 15mm spacers please?

Cheers,
Paul
