Sorry, was typing too fast...meant to type "new Fuchs"....either the factory 19" 997 wheels (like on both 993 Speedsters here) or the aftermarket ones.

I'm sorry, those look horrible. A far cry from what the Fuchs of the 70s and 80s used to be.

I have the RH's and love the look as well. You can't go wrong for looks, but they are right, they do bend.

It's a no-brainer. Light weight wheel always wins.
Why would you want to add weight with the RH's?

If I were looking for weight savings the front diff would be the first to go

BBS for me. The others simply look heavy to me, while the BBS exhibit the wendigheit that all the kids are crazy about.

Sell 'em both and buy wheels with lower ET in the back...
I don't mind a spacer but you can run wider + lower offset wheels (which will look much more agressive) so why settle for NB wheels...
