This thread's for consolidating all that might fit 993s, helping RLers interested in similar shoes.

Help others find what's perfect for them...
CA's Fuchs Performance Group may be the 1st to market 18s
Lindsey, Rota, Zuffenhaus, Iozzio, etc., offer 17s.

I know it's not everyone's taste but just something new to look at. Thanks.

Jeff's 17" designs are available through Zuffenhaus.

My pleasure, Mike. Very glad you & others are enjoying the show & tell.

I'm amazed how long there was nothing available >17" until early May, & likewise amazed at how many options there suddenly are for anyone interested in modernized Fuchs on their 993s, etc.
I'm sure others will post even more styles here as they become available.

Too bad we missed meeting last month! Hope your dad's doing much better. I think you've met Alf; he & I should be hanging in Monterey, CA next month with other RLers. Hope we can catch up soon

18" in RS sizes and offsets please! As long as they keep the weights down.

Thanks curve lover for putting this together. What an incredible car you have built!

The weights on the Alton Fuchs are fantastic! Didn't find the number on thier website anymore, but I want to say the 17x9.5 was 15 or 17 lbs?

That would be great if 18's would weigh in under 20lbs. for the rears.

Absolutely! The Zuffenhaus wheels are the only ones that have truly turned me on out of the modern interpretations.

Curve Lover you are correct my website www.iozziowheels.com is being updated as we speak to show the new 18" wheels. However in June I revealed my new 18" wheels to the world in front of the French,Uk, USA and Japanese magazine editors. They are currently available and ready to order at "18 inch Forged Billet Fuch Style Wheel."
