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!

Anyone seen the price? Not sure in the States but, suggested at £137,000 over in Blighty. Ha Ha! Marketing or engineering? £40k over a spec'd up 997 for non-optional duck tail and alloys. Having said that... WANT!! Sure they will sell all 250 immediately. Then, disappearing into collections, they will never be seen again

I think the hard part, or at least the modification, would be the offsets on Fuchs wheels. Does anyone make them in the correct offset for our cars, and in a 16 or 17" wheel?

Let's make the new Carrera look like the old Carrera and we'll charge them more for it!! Brilliant!!
That said it's a sensational looking car and I would buy one in a heartbeat had I the means.

The Fuchs look so much better than the chrome wagon wheels that have become the current fashion.
The ducktail, I think you have to have a sense of humor to appreciate that. I like that too.
