Default fuchs

a lot of folks seem to love fuchs, i have always had a love/hate relationship with these things. on the one hand according to my taste they look like ***, and because of the anodizing you can't easily paint them. on the flip side they are strong and light. i've looked at a lot 17 inch wheels that will fit the 86 offset and they are all heavy as hell except for the really expensive ones. i'm tired of the fuchs look now but i don't want to spend a small fortune and i don't want to get wheels that are 10lbs heavier (for instance) than the fuchs. any suggestions?

Have you seen ad #6200 in Rennlist classifieds under wheels ?

Sell your Fuchs and out off pocket will be very little.

shaheed,

The 16x8 rears will sell for $800 to the 911 crowd all day long ) they fit perfectly on the fronts of early 911's). I sold a set in decent shape last summer. I posted it in the wheel section and they sold in three days. To be quite honest, I think Fuchs look terrible. My appreciation for the style wore off in the late 80's.

Saying that you don't like Fuch's is like saying that you don't like Mona Lisa's haircut... It's classic... a classic match that looks best when kept original!
