Default Cheap Fuchs?

No affiliation, of course, but sounds like more than a smoking deal. Chrome can be stripped and refinished, tires are very good. If I wanted to run 19" wheels I'd be so all over this one.

Yeah, and these might look really sweet on a dark 993 refinished with dark centers and polished lip.

If they were 18s or 17s I'd snap them up.

Maybe those wheels look better in an 18" diameter, but at 19" they look terrible on the 993, IMO.

I'm with Mark on this one. They look terrible chromed or not. I half expect them to spin.

Those are fugly looking, IMO. Probably cast by "master craftsman" as well.

I don't think that any 19" wheel looks good on a 993. But that's just my opinion. Some run 19s and like the look, I guess.

Honestly, I think 17" wheels are a proper visual balance for a 993, although my current car has 3 sets of 18s and they have grown on me over time.

The wheels advertised appear to be TSW Montages'.

Whether they look good on a 993 or not is up to individual taste, but TSW make good wheels & have done for years, so 'craftsmanship' shouldn't be a concern.
