Default Who sells those custom Fuchs...

Where you can get any width using a real Fuch center.
And can you do 11's rear with a narrow '87 951?

Pics if you gottem, thanks

Lidsey Does them in any width offset I believe. I also believe 11's are areal stretch with out rolling /grinding /cutting but really I'm two drinks into Christmas and WTF do I know anyhooo.

Merry Christmas,

Mirage International does them also. It's listed under "Other race components".

tool, here's a pic of jwl's new ones, just delivered, for his wife's 930. Picked the car up for $13.5, needed a rebuild, seats dry, paint had some issues. It now has a full rebuild, a whole lot of Imagine Auto goodies, B&B exhaust/headers, fuel enrichment, custom warm up regulator, and Clewett Engineering ignition. He just picked up a brand new Tial 46mm for it, 1 bar spring so that should go in this week and the car is finished - well, once the new rims and Goodyear F1 DS G3 go on.






new seats from Paul Champagne leather, carpet from Intl. Autos, steering wheel is being done now

Lindsey Racing. Look for a set of 16" x 6" Fuchs to get the centers - IIRC that's what Lindsey has to have to work with the BBS halves.

An 11" wide wheel will fit in the rear of a 944 with the correct offset of course.

Ski:

Those new modified Fuch's will look SOOOOOOO much better on that 930 than the wheels in the picture. Nice!

On balance, I think Fuch's are the best wheel design in the history of Porsche.

I have a pair of 7x16 Fuchs that would make good cores. The outer rim on one is damaged.....
