It should be noted that the Singer wheels are 'finished' to their beautiful RSR appearance by Harvey Weidman.... Not Fikse.

Not cheap!

I definitely want some of these fuchs on my 993 in the future. I am leaning towards the silver petals with black inlays, but I have yet to see an example of this setup on a Polar Silver 993. Also 17" or 18"? I'll have to ponder that for a while. 17s look more retro while 18s look more modern. Since the 993 represents that transition either could work here...

For a wide body 993 what size spacers? (OEM wide body offsets are 8Jx18 ET52 & 10Jx18 ET40)

The new 18" Fuchsfelge are sized:
  • 8J x 18 ET52
  • 10J x 18 ET65
Rears will need a 25mm spacer, correct?

The new 17" Fuchsfelge are sized:
  • 8J x 17 ET55
  • 9J x 17 ET55
What spacers do you need?

Never mind…

Just found the answer on Fuchsfelge's web page under "application areas".

18" rear will need 25mm spacer

17" rear will need 32mm spacer

I happen to have 25mm and 32 spacers available; if someone wants them send a PM. I sold the wheels that needed spacers.

Default OS-Design II Wheels by Wheel Dynamics

These wheels are available in the 911 (996/997) Cayman & Boxster applications using the following:

19x8.5 (et 48) 24.7-lbs. & 19x10 (et 47) 26.4-lbs. $1640/set (PRICE GOOD THROUGH THE END OF APRIL 2014)

These maintain more of the original factory design over any other in the market offered. These have that factory design lip and finish to the face and lips. Factory original center caps and lug nuts or bolts can be used.

This set is available and in-stock, if you are interested please let me know!

The German based company who produces these wheels for us is also the same company who manufactures the original Porsche fuchs forged lines. If you are interested in a forged set those are also available at just over $5,000 per set.

Let me know how we may further assist you!

Our LTL delivery takes place next week, we will have everything in-stock and ready to go by then! We will also be taking more photos (model shoot soon).

Are there 17" or 18" options for these ones from Wheel Dynamics? 19" aren't too popular on 993s.

Has the 19" wheel fitment been confirmed for the 993?
Is shipping included in the Rennlist price of $1,640/set?

Hi there,

We have not yet had the opportunity to fit them on the 993 so if I can get a volunteer in the LA area stop by we can perform that fitment.

Although we have used this off-set in the front and rear on the nb 993 in the past, it will take the rear all they way out to the fender line.

The cost of the set does NOT include shipping cost, we have them listed $1899 for the set on our site and they will go back up to this rate after the promotion we have through April.

We are scheduling a photo shoot this week on the 996, we may also "if we have time" get them fitted on the 951 as well.

Thanks again for your questions!

-WD
