In the past I've seen a couple pictures of 964, 993, and 997 PhotoChopped with Fuchs. General group feedback up to this point has been that the design looks best on the pre-964 cars. Also the Fuchs design proportions did't always look right in 17"+ sizes (offset, petals dimensions).
Fashion changes though... design and style is usually top down, lead by the factory. I'm sure if an average 997 owner showed up at a local cars & coffee with Fuchs style wheels on his 997, most people wouldn't like the look... but on a factory 911 Sport Classic people will love it. I would assume a lot of people who can afford 997, grew up wanting an 70's-80's Fuchs wheeled Carerra?
I will be interesting to see if Fuchs style rims start popping up on more and more 993 and 964s as a result of the Sport Classic? Love the duck!

I found the image on Google... not my car, don't have the wheels either. My car is on the left.
Based on what I've seen from responses in other forums, 997 owners seem to like the retro Fuchs. Even the duck?!
If you haven't seen some of their Porsche projects yet, visit pelicanparts.com and search for them in the 911 forum. Good, good stuff. Maybe the guys who build my dream 964 down the road? I need to visit their shop during my next solo roadtrip...
MPeters,
With that wonderful duck, retro Fuchs on your car would look amazing!
I wonder what size would look best with the 964 (bumper) design? 17" or 18"?

zuffenhaus.us is building a 964 specific Fuchs repro.
