Whereas I'm pretty certain Jack is talking about our new wheels, created by Jeff Alton (and currently being offered):
Nope. It is a different company,--Fuchs here in the USA, and they will be fully spun forged, and CNC machined. I believe Jack's Fuchs are welded up from earlier centers.

These will be completely new wheels, but simply look like Fuchs.

Ah yes, Jack'swheels are, but he was referring to the wheel I posted, I believe - forged billet centers, spun forged halves, and now with historically correct wheel lips. Go check them out on the other board - they're impressive!

OT, but Marc, I really like your Targa. The Cups work well, the color combo is great and the car looks very clean and well-looked-after.

Marc, thanks for posting the pic, your targa is very simlar to mine, red, tail, etc...except that I have a black interior. Looks good, Fuchs, cups, etc...maybe it's the car, not just the wheels.....

The new Fuchs, by "Fuchs" will be one piece forged,--just like before. They are not made up of 3-pieces like the ones at your link.

These are Fuchs centers welded into 17-inch barrels.

I love your car

You're on the right track, I think we may start to see something in 2009.
