Would I buy them? Sure, over the original and rotiform ones. Yes. But over a set of period look Speedlines, Cup1s, Gemballa, BBS, Cargraphics.... no.

That said, they are now my favourite Fuch wheel for a 964.

Ps. You slammed guys really don't hang about to buy the latest trendy wheels! Lol
Thank you good sir! It was really hard not to throw a set of BBS on it, really, really love the look of e88 or e28 but I've been dealing with Matt and Brad at fifteen52 for years and after talking to them about their collaboration with Magnus Walker and seeing the computer models, I couldn't pass them up!

Also what size are the wheels, offsets, tyre size and make of tyres as the width varies between manufacturer?
They're 18x8 et 42 front and 18x9.5 et 40 in the rear. Tires are (purists' are going to kill me here ) 215/35 front and 245/35 rears falkens

Curious as to how much work was done back there...
No work really needed. Just the right offset and very minor fender rolling.

Can't wait to see what Magnus builds.




Thanks! My wifes' driveway pics became famous along with my weeds

I'm going to update my thread with a few more photo's from a car show this past weekend if anyone is interested in any other photos. Don't want to fill this thread with them because hopefully there will be a few more 964's soon with these wheels on that can post up in here!!

Sorry, I should have clarified - I'd like to see a picture of the backside of the wheel center - interested in how much modeling & machining there is. (interested in actual weights also!)

All I see is wheels, the car becomes secondary.

Haha mustang wheel comment is so correct.

If I were building an old cobra kit car I'd hit up Magnus for sure.

Just from an outside perspective...is this a Fifteen52 vs Rotiform kinda thing?

Either way I like them both. Watch out for a UK member from 911uk running 17s

No worries, I'm planning on doing the slave cylinder tomorrow, I'll try to remember to grab a photo or 2 of the backpad for you. I'll weigh the wheel/tire also but I forgot weigh by its self when I got them.

lol, didn't think it would become that. I kinda thought they were really 2 completely different looking/styled wheels (one being more shiney/showy and the other being a little more "raw") but judging by the last few comments, it sure sounds like it doesn't it

And I spoke to the 911UK guy, I'm really pumped to see them on. Hopefully it works out for him, I'd love to see them in 17" with a little more rubber then mine. I've got a good feeling with the different color then mine, and the thicker tires, it should look killer!

My comment is my opinion, which has nothing to do with the type of wheels on my car.

I like the look. Not too modern as some of the other wheels I have seen on 964's.

I do,agree that they pop so much that it takes away from the beauty of a black 964.

All in all really nice!
