I am ready to upgrade from my fuch to a set of 17" street wheels.

What are the best looking (and good quality) wheels? Your opinions? Pics. Thanks

Oh, no it's not mine.
But those are the wheels that I want!!!

Fikse FM10.....$$$$$ spendy but hella light and strong!

Personally, I think gold-centered BBS wheels give that 'classic' Porsche image:

I love the Look of the Fikse. I also like the Forge Line wheels. Does anyone have the name of a company where you can get these wheels for a relatively good deal?

they are 255 falkens, they have a rounded shoulder, so they are a little slimmer than most.

I am a huge fan of HRE. I also like those wheels on Huntley's 944 Cab.

You already have (IMO) the best looking wheels for an early offset car, 944 or turbo.
You may need to define "good quality", the first few wheels in the thread are very good, for strength and light weight it's hard to beat a forged wheel, Fikse, BBS, HRE, Forge Line and Fuchs, and a few more. The newer Porsche wheels are mostly cast and offer lower quality than your Fuchs, add to that the fact that later wheels will need spacers (what's one more weak link? ) and you would be taking a big step down from what you have.

You could always paint your fuchs red like tifosiman did, I think his look great but you can judge for yourself....

As far as the best looking wheels, well this is going to be a very personal thing. I like Kinesis Wheels the most, I just think they are great looking and belong on Porsches. BBS LMs can be had for not too much and also look very good and are both strong and light.

Replica Porsche wheels (turbo twists, 993 Cups, C2 Turbos) may look good, but they are heavy and very soft.

I guess it depends on what you are going for, light wieght, strength, pure looks?

Simmons is another wheel company to have a look at they will do cusom wheels and for a set of 17s they will cost you 2k, not to shabby.

I like the 993 17in look.

I'm with Dave on this one. I love the Fuchs. To bad they only get you to 16" (although larger 3 piece wheel with Fuchs centers are available).
