Default Another possible source

You might try Ernie's Alloys in Opa-Locka (Miami), FL - (305)687-0028. I got a couple of new-in-the-box 15x8 Fuchs from him a couple of months ago.

I don't agree. The last Fuchs may have been put on a new Porsche in 1989, but there have been new replacement Fuchs wheels manufactured and made available periodically many times since 1989. There were brand new 8x15" Fuchs selling for $175/ea. back in the '90s at the dealers, and there has been a recent run of the 9x16" Fuchs that are available for around $800 ea.

Recently, the Porsche Classic division has made an effort to start reissuing many of the early parts, including the 6x15" Fuchs wheel. Check out this link. I would say Porsche is making an effort to expand their catalog of new parts, lately, rather than the other way around. The bad news is none of them will be cheap any more....
