Thanks for the photo comparison. It's really hard picturing different rims on our cars, especially from other non-944/951s. Amazing how the newer ones make Fuchs and phone dials seems so dated and classic...

Another option would be color match the fuch's. That would be cool.

The third and fourth from the bottom look freaking sweet! Wish they were on my car.

I got 17" Turbo twists from www.tirerack.com they are replica but for the money are an amazing deal. Cost me under $1,500 with great tires. oh, and no spacers needed, fits early offset!!!

They are form a place in florida on ebay and you can get a set for about $1000. I got them from a guy on craigslist in OC who had them on his Boxster and was returning it at the end of his lease, just wanted to unload them so I got them for $400! They are pretty heavy, though, since they are cast. Ideally, I'd like to get some Fikse FM-10s in the same color scheme, but I don't want to spend more on my wheels than I've put in to this car (yet).

I have a set of 17 inch turbo cup wheels that are the lightweight rsr version, thet are mint.They come with khumo ecsta tires that are also new. They look awesome and are 17/9 and 17/7.5. I decided to keep my fuchs, my car is lowered and they look great, and are coming back in style due to the new Mustang rims that look like crager/fuchs. If interested 1,650.00 delivered and there yours. Tires rack sells these rims alone for 1,600-tires are another 750.00./

Body colored Fuchs are the way to go. Here is a picture of them on a red car. Like the red car you used to own Alina.
