Default Fuchs on a 964?

I found this car on ebay and was surprised to see Fuchs wheels. These have to be aftermarket, don't they?

Fuchs made 16" wheels so chances are these are genuine.

Make the car look very dated in IMHO

Dated, but good. Not sure about the spoiler though, better with a 3.2 whaletail or 964 standard.

I have always liked the look of the "dark center with shiny edge of rim" look like the Fuchs has... I used to have them on my last one... Not sure they look good on a 964 but then it's all up to personal taste. There are a lot of people that don't like my spoiler... To each, his own!

Not sure I would go that route, but I didn't think the offsets would work. It's the first time that I've seen the two together. I like the classic look of Fuchs, but the clean bumpers of the 964. With a different spoiler and ride height with color matched centers and polished lip, it would look much better, IMHO.

The offsets for real Fuchs are wrong the 964, look how far out the rear tires are sticking on this car - looks like there could be a good bit of rubbing on the fender edge.

There are 17" Fuchs out there (Fuchs centers w/ I believe BBS halves?). I forget who makes them, but I think you could find them by searching the web.

There are 17 Fuchs out there but those are three piece wheels with Fuchs centers made from old Fuchs. These don't look like those.

They are either aftermarket replicas or modified Fuchs.

Stock Fuchs o/s are all wrong, 10.6 - 36mm for a 964 which wants 52 - 68mm depending on the wheel width, model and placement
