They are almost exactly the same price as the Tramonts once you include shipping but the Tramonts are very tempting.
I vote for the Speedline Daytonas from Jim D.

I'm completely psyched by these wheels. Sold a set of ruf wheels on ebay to a guy in Abu Dhabi to finance them. They're light, perfectly finished and the ride on 17's is so much smoother than my 18's with rs3 tires. I love the lips. My neighbors think I'm nuts because I sat on my front steps for 30 minutes just looking at them.

That is the best looking Fuchs/993 combo I have seen yet, very nice.

They do the best retro "Fuchs" wheel, IMO. Better than what is coming out of Fuchs, again only IMO. The petals are more true to the original, as well as the section view. I think the flat black with silver lips (80's Fuchs look) goes well with the 993. The contrasting silver petals don't look as well as these-and that is the look I craved on my '84. Well done.

I see a number of 993's here that are wearing what look like Carrera III wheels.

I just bought a set of 18" Carrera III wheels - 8" with 57 et, 10" w 58 et. They will be on my 993 NB on which OE 18" et's are: 52 & 65.

Will I need 5mm spacers on fronts? What experience have those who are now running these wheels experienced?

Your help is appreciated.
