Same here, congrats, they are great wheels, the only downfall is the need to constantly clean them as brake dust is easily seen on the edge of the rim.

If you find a wheel center, i'll be glad to get pics & a reference.

It's an even bigger cost landed half way around the world. Owning a Turbo 3.6 with Speedlines that cost more than twice the Fuchs puts it into perspective. They make that car, I'm hoping the Fuchs will do the same for the 964.

I'm not sure about centers. For the moment I like the Fuchs supplied ones.

17" so I can use my existing wheels with the same suspension settings. The Fuchs will be my track wheels.

It would have been easier on my wallet if you had, but I'm still happy. My wallet is aching from double glazing, painting, sky lights, fence, lighting, retaining wall and soon to add carpet. Fuchs are cheap by comparison. Can you recall the contact for Hankook? I think Macca said mega something.

Brian at Megatyre 09 478 6004. On Anzac Rd Browns Bay. They are a reseller so you may get same price closer to home - but as I work on the Shore its pretty convenient.
