Default Custom Fuch's (replica's) on the '17 C2S

Hi guys
I test fit these earlier, but I've got these on for the summer now. With the decals I think it comes together really well. I ordered these over the winter. Had them painted satin black and satin silver. Just love the look of Fuch's on a 911. I'm old school though.

Needs a drop. Thoughts?

It looks fantastic! Classy, sporty and old school. Well done sir.

Is is a drop "a must"? NO. Will a drop make it look even better? YES!!

On my previous 997, I used Eibach springs, overall 0.8 inch drop while keeping OEM comfort.

These look great. Sizes? Offsets? Where did you get them?

Pure class. I would be hesitant to mess with ride height - the combination of ride and handling is about perfect; the gap much less noticeable on a black car.

Looks terrific! Very well done. Would not necessarily drop the height either.

I'm a Fuchs guy as well (I have a 16" Fuchs wheel in my office) and love the wheel and how you had them finished on your car. I'm interested in the purchase and paint details too. A drop would look a little better, but your car looks great as it is.

Looks good, but dropping will make it look great.

Looks fantastic. My 991.2 needs these as well. Where did you get them and what sizes and offsets are the wheels?

Looks good, but I'd drop it.

I have techart springs, and though they're more expensive ride like stock.

What sizes do these wheels come in?

Hey guys-

So these are from Wheel Dynamics. They do a lot of these. Totally recommend them. They were great. They'll paint them any way you want. I went with satin silver, satin black. These are the OS2 wheels. There's two versions. The other one doesn't have the stepped lip. The other design just doesn't work for me. These are perfect though. I happen to have the silver and black center caps. PERFECT match.The ones that came with the wheels were junk.

They're 19". There's no 20" version. I don't remember the offset. I had 15mm spacers laying around the garage so I threw those on the front. Pushed them out a bit. The rears are a bit aggressive, but I like that look. Probably pokes about 3/4" or so. I put PSS tires on with 245's front and 305's in the rear. The rear wheels just barely clear the suspension, but it clears so it's fine.

Very much a retro look with the side decals and all. That was the idea.

As far as the drop goes, I'll just drive it this year and revisit that next year. The car only has 1800 miles on it.

I would LOVE some details on your car DJ. It looks pretty insane. *(in a really good way).

The ride height is awesome for city driving. Where did you get these rims. Love the wheels
