No pics yet, but Claudia is geting a set of 18" FM-5s.

I'm partial to five spoke wheels on our cars, but the FM-10s are wonderful also.

Brilliant minds do indeed think alike.

For use biased twds. the street (as opposed to the track), the 17" make far more sense - and really do look nicer (IMO) on our cars.

I agree - one of the only wheels that would make me consider selling the Ruf Speedlines are FM5's in 17". With black centers and polished lips, they are very Fuchs like without being a replica.

Wow! I'm glad I settled on 5s...actually this was Steve W's idea (instead of the 10s I started with).

Wow, that is a lot of rubber under a NB 964.

A friend of mine has a 91' NB 964 with 295 Hoosiers!

Gentle massage of the rear fenders, not rolled very much. Tight fit, but it works.

One word of warning on the FM10's - they are one of the prettiest wheels around but they can be a serious bugger to keep clean if you're nit-picky.

A buddy had a set on his pristine 951 and they were the business, absolutely gorgeous (as was the car), but due to their design and the angles, they were not fun to clean.
