I actually really like the Fuchs as well.

There are a couple companies making them in larger sizes, but so far they are $$$$

Awesome. I want a set! Will probably cost a fortune though.

I should imagine these will be the most expensive Fuchs by far.

There are some nice looking wheels on 944's, Fikse's, BBS, Speedline's etc, but imo nothing says Porsche better than Fuchs. I only wish they went wider on the rear rim/lip aka 930 Turbo:

I have the 930 16x9 Fuchs on the rear of my car. Dish is good. Hella Deep Dish is better!~

Yeah they just look wrong in a huge size with a ***** offset.

You shouldnt go back and change a design thats already perfect.

This is how fuchs should be on a car:



It just looks so much more normal.

Fuchs are awesome. I'm tossing the idea around of getting a set for the 924S. I mean the three piece versions in correct offset.
It's one of the best wheels of all time. cosmetics have nothing to do with it.

THIS I can agree with. I never thought much of the look of Fuchs. Before I became a Porsche owner I thought they were basic stamped steel. Their weight (or lack thereof) is impressive, and they're just "period correct" for the cars.

Put a Fuchs and a Cookie Cutter in front of a noob, and they'd be hard pressed to tell whihc is the collectors item and which is the worthless beater wheel.

Rear is good, front looks off due to small no dish look. THe coolest fuchs were always the really deep dish stuff.
