Default The PS Classic

From psAutoArt.com:

"The PS Classic:
A close evocation of the original design with soft-edged petals.

The wheels are available in any diameter from 15" - 22", any offset, and widths from 6" to 13.5". They are produced as standard in the Porsche 5x130 bolt pattern but can also be made to suit other 5 stud vehicles, such as Volkswagens.

They are superior quality, light weight, high strength 3-piece, split-rim design with rear mounted bolts for a more authentic appearance.

The centres are machined from solid billet and can be finished in standard stove enamelled black, any paint colour or in the early 911 style with polished or anodised petals.

The rims are polished as standard but can also be anodised, as the originals, for better corrosion resistance and a satin finish.

So what happened to those Fifteen52 wheels, RP?

Thanks again Curve! I've made a thread here too on the wheel/tire forum.

Can they do 26" x 1" for my bicycle?

It took a bit but these wheels have grown on me. They look fantastic, IMO. A set might have to be in my future. Hoping someone slaps a set on a 993 soon so I can see what they look like on the car. Sweet vid too. Magnus' turbo sounds so badass.

I can't make up my mind on the Magnus/1552 Fuchs-a-like wheel. Some angles it looks great and from others I hate it. Reminds of the Seinfeld "two-face" episode.

I definitely like the silver ones on Dan's 964. The same wheel with the bolts around the lip (are those the 3 piece wheels) look a little too busy IMO. Would love to see a set of them with a polished lip.

I bet those homeless people under the bridge love Magnus ripping through there in that scalded dog.

The "Holy FUCHS!" get my vote. Want a set in 18x9 & 18x11. Where to go and how many organs/blood/semen will I need to sell?

IMO these don't work at all on 964 or 993. Too busy, too try hard retro and on the black car look like flower petal wheels....

I politely agree to disagree, LOL. They look GREAT. I'm working on ordering a set of the 3pc for my 993. I love my Techarts but these wheels... I must have.

I know most of you guys arent into the slammed look but this is a gorgeous wheel with a bit of tire tucking.
