Joe-- Click here for more details re: Jeff Alton/ Zuffenhaus/ Fikse 'Fuchs' (on the "futuristic FUCHS" thread).
Christian-- Is that ^^ similar to your decision process when considering RSR finish earlier?

I decided that the RSR finish looks great but only on lighter colored cars- that's all. Alan at Fikse also recommended a slightly less aggressive offset than the car pictured above and we both agreed on the 10" rear and I'd have to say that the fit is perfect with a 3mm front spacer to allow for caliper clearance.

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.

The "easy to clean" is key. The Targa wheels are a MAJOR PITA to clean. They will be fully detailed & bagged for show use only.

I really liked these wheels when they were introduced on the 2009 997 (I think). Was able to squeeze these under the narrow-body without rolling the fenders. Wrapped the rear tires quite tightly and of course I made sure the circumference front to back was identical for the Carrera 4 drivetrain. Dropped the car with PSS10's at the same time (+walrods,+ fister II).
Personally, I'm thrilled with the look. The dish design is actually subtly different front to back and I think it strikes a nice balance of wheel to body proportion and open space in the wheel for the 993.

G-MASA, That's a really nice wheel for the 993. The open/closed ratio on wheels is critical on dark-colored 993 cars so as not to overwhelm the lines of the body.
