The latest otto fuch wheels don't come with centre caps. Anyone want to sell their fuch emblem centre caps?

They look great!

Any noticeable difference in the cars handling and over the road feel?

Of course it is so subjective, but the 17" over 16" do feel more compliant, and I did notice the 225 up front has finished off my final pursuit of C4 balanced handling. Very happy.

This looks fantastic and my car is the same color! It has me really re-thinking Cup 1’s. Not just the look, but also the significant weight savings.

I noticed Fuchs offers an 8” width wheel as well. Any reason to go with this over the 9” rear? I’ve seen Cup 1’s in this dimension as well.

Lastly, I saw folks in this thread asking about 16” Fuchs and it appears as though Braid will make you whatever you want in a Fuchs-styled wheel.

Finished off the Fuchs with forged centre caps (thanks to a local Rennlister), and checked the alignment. RS settings.

Correct, though BRAID's 15" and 16" replica wheels come as standard with the original 911 offsets they can be ordered with custom offsets for a small up charge. The 17" and 18" versions can be ordered any offset within the possible range for each size for no up charge.

Looks great Spokes. Totally transforms the car. Love the subtle retro look.

Thanks 911Jetta, I am very pleased with the look and ride. A project over the next several months to refurbish the D90s.
