Yours sets the bar, Baron ^^

Tune in 89.98 on your FM dial for familiar oldies like this view from 'Speedy'.

An even better shot, with Catalina Island in the background....I just LOVE the 2-tone Fuchs 17s. I considered the black spoke versions, but the spokes disappeared, and the spokes JUST GOTTA SHOW





Just perfect.....

Great to hear from ya, Golf

Amazing & varied wheels on this thread like Zooming's 19" LMs, Mitch's Fuchs, Fong's BBS (above), etc.
Can see why you're loving your TechArts.
For those to whom size matters - others are options, too.

Very few RLers' 993s have followed down the same road: blue, black, orange, & white.

RLer's writing, yesterday on Petrolicious.com's "This Insane Porsche Wasn’t Even Supposed To Exist:"

Fuchs windmill wheels were featured on the iconic 1989 wide-body Speedsters, and Jäger wanted to complete Speedy’s homage to the classic 911 Speedster look. The problem was that Fuchs at the time didn’t make a size appropriate for the 993. Luckily, Porsche decided to put into production the “911 Sport Classic” wheel for its limited edition 911 Sport Classic in 2010. A modern update to the classic Fuchs of yesteryear, they look like they belong on Speedy from the get-go, and thanks to an intrepid Porsche Cars North America executive the set on the red Speedster was the first set installed on a customer’s car.

I saw these on FDM's instagram feed and I felt that the new age take of the classic 928 phone dial looks quite sharp. Not too much of a fan of super lowered cars, but the wheel is neat.

I won't claim these are the coolest wheels ever but I think they are still pretty cool
