Default New production Fuchs wheels!

Looks like Fuchs is reproducing the original 16" inch design. Identical to the originals, but almost two pounds less weight due to improving the tolerances of the "spinning" down to about 8 micros. Back in 2009, I broke one of my flawless 7x16 wheels and never found a suitable replacement. Having a mismatched wheel keeps me from driving the car as much as I'd like.
Well, mismatched wheel no more! Ordered mine a couple days ago, delivery due in September. At the price, it's a stellar deal and I can see it affecting used wheel prices. A recent peek at used wheel found several sets upwards of $3-4000.




The broken wheel in question =(

They look pretty great, but I'm waiting for the 17s to get into the G-body wheel offsets. I have spacers on the rear for my 16x7 and I can always feel the spacers giving that little bit of balance--I wouldn't want to use spacers ever again.
