Awesome!

Did you get them direct from Otto Fuchs? Do Porsche dealers sell them, I don't know.

Look great, especially with the red car and black spoiler.

Take care!

Love them! I was just looking for future 968 wheels online today when I found this site.

I have been waiting about 6 months for final CE testing to be completed as they were just released direct from Otto Fuchs via a dealer in the Netherlands.

Leonard Stolk of Twin Spark Racing was great to deal with. Highly recommended!

As you can see I am quite partial to Fuchs and almost went with the same look as my Ghia but decided the all black center was the only way to go.

When I saw the headline I thought 'er, maybe' but I like them! (I did have color coded Alpine White/polished lip Fuchs on my 944, so I'm partial). They look great on the VW!

Wheels look great. I would've opted for the polished finish on my car.
