Default Fuchs Pics on 964

Thought some might be interested in seeing how they look. I know it's not everyone's taste but just something new to look at. Thanks.

They are 17" and came from Jeff Alton and Keith at Zuffenhaus Products. Very nice people to work with and they have spent a lot of hard work producing these. I am very happy with them as I have always loved the fuch's look and was waiting for someone to make them for the 964. Thanks again.

Those look great. I brought up this same idea with someone and they said they would not look right. He was wrong. They look great on your car! Any idea if they are heavy?

Thanks. I believe they weigh around 16-18 lbs. The wheels came mounted with Dunlop Direzza tires. When I weighed the fronts they were around 42 lbs. and the 225/45 tire weighs 26 lbs. The rears are 255/40 and weighed around 45-46 lbs. mounted with tire weight and 28 lbs. I'm sure Keith can tell you exactly.

Any Photo Shop guys out there... I would love to see these wheels on a 993 or a GT3. I was just thinking about what it would look like.

Huh... I would have thought not - but I like it. To me, others who put later model wheels on their Porsches do so to make the cars seem newer and more valuable, but I find that it ends up looking off.
By going the other direction, you are appreciating a great design and not worried about having the car look like a newer model. Bravo.

Now, the subject of aftermarket wheels is different. Unless they're SPEEDLINE, BBS, HRE, Fikse, or RUF (but RUF wheels only look good on RUF Porsches) I think they look cheep!

Think they look great. One of those things I have thought about doing, but was never too sure. They really suit the 964, as it is still the classic shape. The ones I have looked at are:

I think they look great, gives the car subtle classic look.
Do they have a satin finish? Wonder what a high gloss finish would look like??

Adam, I would love to see a wide set of those Kerscher's on a 964 turbo. Would give it a 930 retro look (with a twist) i guess?
