I run both..? I'm not sure that helps - but..??
My Fiske's are 17" for both street and track - and the OEM Fuchs for show and shines, etc... And don't ask me which are my favorite - as it depends which ones are mounted..

What TT said as for the 18" Fiskes.. Mine are 17" - and tire choices are dwindling swiftly for those in 17"... And absolutely - keep both sets. The original Fuchs on the 930 in good/excellent condition are a huge plus on the car...

They are 17". The Fuchs I have are near perfect so I was thinking on only running them part time. I had the Fikse from another car. They are 7.5 and 9". I'd like some wider wheels I think. 11 or 12" rears

Fuchs + Fikse = ...
If you cannot make up your mind then do what I did.
Ask Fikse to make you a custom Fuchs classic with a perfect offset and maxium rubber: 235 Front tires and 305 or 315 on the rear!

Please share with the group what $$$$ that set you back. I have TT big red brakes that do not allow stock Fuchs + 16" has too many tire limitations. Bought a set of 3pc 17"ers made from Fuchs centers & unhappy with the (disproportioned) look. Sticking with my heavy RUF wheels for now.

And then add another $350+/- for proper metal center caps that you get from elsewhere.
These (Fikse) wheels have hidden fasteners which gives you the appearance of 1-piece but in reality they are a 3-piece. I had them balanced before mounting tire and they were true, no run-out, and naturally balanced.
I have a Turbo 3.6 with the "original" BigReds and just eye balling a year ago, I'm guessing they would fit inside these Fiskes. The Speed Lines on that car don't provide much more clearance. Again - just eye balling cars and wheels and dreaming about summer...
