Default 18 Inch Fuchs

Just thought I would throw out some wheel disscussion for Sunday
has anyone put these B6 design wheels on a 964 ?
I think they look pretty good, I would love to see one of you guys that are photoshop wizards put them on a Guards Red Cab.
I don't normally think that the black centers work as well on Red cars but this one might be different enough to try.

thanks in advance to any help from the artists out there !!

I tried to google for some better quality picture but no luck It` not problem to photoshop it but you need better resolution and good angle.

If you ask me ( and 90% of rennlisters) go for Speedlines or Cup`s

Yeah, not great detail (as Alexx suggested) but this might give you an idea:

As you probably noticed, I went BIG on the rim diameter. That's probably what it will look like compared to your 16's.

I have seen a set of these on a 964 widebody and i was not impressed. the look of the wheel barely resembles the original Fuchs. The center is too flat and the lip is all wrong IMO.

I've got RH 18" in our 964, and looks great! Think about it.

Regards guys.

Thanks for doing the Photoshop.. not sure if that is the wheel for me. I was looking to do something a bit differnet but have it still look like it belongs on the car. I think you are right about the RH wheels .. for the cost of the B6 wheels I could have a nice set of RH wheels.
Some of these look like a cool idea until you get them on the car.

Thanks again
John

Whoever put wheel weights on the lips of those RHs should be shot!

And yeah, those Fuch replicas look like crap.

No problem ilko, we will polish them with the wheel?¿( I don' exactly the name, we call it torno) and we will re-weights them.
