I currently have OZ wheels on my car. I like the look but I think I like the look of the Fuchs better and I'm having a hard time making up my mind. I've done some photoshop work for a side by side comparison.

Here's the car as it is now with OZ wheels:



Here's the car with Fuchs on it:



What do you guys think?

The Fuchs, but if you already own the OZ & have to buy the Fuchs, stay with the OZ

What size are your OZ's now? If 17" or 18" and you go with the Fuchs, you will have to downsize to 16" wheel and tires. I prefer the larger diameter wheels as it makes the car look newer and handle a little better.

Jim, is it the size of the wheel or the profile of the tire that increases or decreases performance? I always thought that the larger wheels were merely for looks. If I were to go down to a 16" Fuchs with low profile tires, wouldn't the handling be the same?

So far the widest Fuchs' I've seen are 9". Was there ever or does anybody make a 10"?

The OZ's definately give it a bling bling look, but the Fuchs give it an aggressive look. Well I think I'm going to have to have both types of wheels and then just change them depending on the mood I'm in.

How big of a wheel can you get in the rear? I like the deep Fuchs. I saw some 11" Fuchs wheels at wheel enhancment. Would these fit?

The larger wheel with a lower profile tire will give you better performance, but at a cost of some comfort, as they will transmit a little more road vibration through the car.

You can use the 16" Fuchs wheels with low profile tires, but then you'll really be talking bling. Your car will be sticking up a mile and look like it needs to be lowered.

Try Lindsey Racing for custom size Fuchs: http://www.lindseyracing.com/Merchan...Code=911WHEELS

The guys at Wheel Enhancement should be able to help you out on fitmant as well.

I have a 18 x 10 1/2 BBS rear wheels on my car. Probably could go a little wider. Not sure when you go to 16" how it works.

Good luck.

Consider the 17 inch custome Fuchs from Lindsey racing like the ones on Jack's car. I am sure your OZ's would be an easy sale too.

These are 17's from Jae at Mirage Intl in San Diego. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

Hey those are nice wheels. Are they two piece or just meant to look like two piece? What size are they?

I like the OZ.

SoCal Mike

They are 17" 9 and 11's running 245/40 and 315/35 g-force TA-KD's. They are 3pc made from the 16x6 fuchs. Similar to the Lindseys except that I think Lindsey usually sandwiches the fuch center between the two rim halves and Jae's rims put the wheel halves behind the center. The difference being that if you run a black(colored) center, the center of the wheel looks bigger. Check Lindsey's wheels to see the difference. BTW, I think the OZ's look great

I like the OZ's too but every time I see a nicely finished Fuchs wheel I get ideas in my head. Perhaps I'll sit on it for a while.

Thanks to everyone for their input.

The OZ's are too busy and don't look quite right on your cab.
