Default Updated Fuchs in 17" & 18"

This may not be news (other than to me), but apparently updated Fuchs wheels are now offered in 17" & 18" sizes, in what appear to be late offset.

They'll probably cost more than my car is worth, but maybe...

I just don't think they look as good as the originals. Fuchs should have a deep lip, which is only possible with early offset. Just my 2 cents.

I agree you need the lip on the Fuchs, flat face Fuchs just look wrong. Plus the price...wow, you are better off going with LR Fuchs, at least they use the real Fuchs centers on their 17in conversion and they are a lot cheaper. imo only way they look good on a late offset is if you have wide-body fenders that would fit the early offset Fuchs with the wide lip.
