Every time I look at your pics, I'm liking them more and more and your choice of finish is spot on. Maybe there is a set in my future...

They would be nutty in widebody fitment. Not to mention, they look even better in person!

I think that is possibly due to the camber and lack of visible sidewall on the tyres and or the angle the photos have been taken at.

It isn't the wheels that make it look cartoony, it's the whole package. That's the idea behind a stance car, it tries to look like an artist rendering.

For example, go watch an ep of Overhaulin' and see the sketch that Chip Foose starts with, then look at the final product. They're similar, but the actual product doesn't look as dramatic. A stance car tries to get create that appearance but in real life.

Then again I never really got "form over function"

I love the finish of these wheels best looking Fuchs interpretation I have seen on a 964 for me they have a modern feel to a classic design if that makes sense.

The car looks great it would be a dull place if we all done the same thing.

I thought I was tactful in my response and never meant disrespect.

All good, too each his own, although your analogy was totally inaccurate regarding the thought process behind my car.

Frankie, for the record. I like Rotiform wheels. They're innovative designs, clearly passionate (which always deserves respect) and they seem well made.

The Fuch interpretation is good. I just like most Porsche guys can't get my head round slammed cars - for the much document reasons. A failure in my part re the dubby scene.

I'd like to see, for once the wheels with normal tyres.

Anyway, since we're talking about 'fresh' wheels would love a set of 454 HRE wheels for my 'whip'.

Glad you're enjoying your 964 - as you say each their own.

^I saw that pic on social media a few days ago and thought it was a photoshop job. Do you have more pics from other angles?

Is there any plan for a 17" Rotiform FUC wheel?
