Price list is up...

8x17 = 560E
10x17 = 600E
Pretty pricey, but I guess in the same range as other forged 3-piece wheels out there....

They look pretty good on the right car but would, IMHO, look better without the split rims. There is a listing on Pelican about large Fuchs replicas that looked really good. Do a search - they should show up.

not a big fan either on the 993, just my opinion. too much of a generation gap between body styles. thanks for sharing regardless. different strokes for different folks.

I am not sure I would buy them....just pointing out an option that is out there that is new and that people in the US might not be aware of. For me, I think I'd find out if different bolts could be used, something a little more low profile. Lots of folks do have three-piece wheels, and they all have the bolts, so I expect that there are different options on what bolts could be used with different heads.
If you were a guy who put a duck tail on a 993, and sorta wanted a more "old school" look, I bet these would be a really good choice. Or, imagine the centers done in a different way, may car-color or polished/painted like some of the Fuchs are done....
I'd like to go to a 17x8 and 17x10, and it seems about the only way I can do that is with three-piece wheels....
