I think the 19's will look HUGE, but I'm up for seeing them on a car.

IMHO the 944/951 cars look goofy with anything much larger than 17" rims. I've seen some 944/951's with 18's that look good, but most don't. 19's would just look silly..........

I seem to be in the minority. I think the larger diameter wheels look great on our cars, but I also like the teles too. There was a guy who put some 19" lobster claws on and despite the fact that they look crap on a rear engine car (IMHO) they actually looked pretty good. (again IMHO)

Not exactly what you are looking for, but....


These are 18" TSW Montage wheels. They have a modern Fuchs look to them without the price of the actual Fuchs replicas.

Here is a thread from a couple of years ago for a 944 with 17" Jeff Alton Fuchs...

I've got 19" wheels on my 951 (see sig pic) and they're HUGE. Wouldn't recommend them for other owners, if you've got a hard-on for fuchs, just pick up a set of the Zuffenhaus 17" ones. High quality and they still look correct on our cars.
