ooohh nice. I like the brushed finished lips. Centers look good on an 18" setup. NB offsets and light too (<20lb rears). Wonder what they'll cost in the US. Do Fuchs have a distributor here?

Those look really nice. Every other Fuchs look-alike (including the recent Porsche ones) look out of proportion to me. These look right, tho I'd like to see a straight-on shot.

There's a Gallery on the page and there's a shot of the wheels on a 993. As much as I like the idea of Fuchs on my car and as much as I want to like them... there's just something underwhelming about them when you see enough pictures.
I don't like how the spokes stick out near the lip, especially on narrower-lipped front wheels. I don't like how the completely black centers loose all detail and begin to look like any 5-spoke wheel. The finishing dumb touch of the Fox's head on the center cap completes the impression that something is severely off (I'm sure that a P-crest can be added, but still).
Looking at the prices, it seems like they can be had for about $3K a set if 19% VAT is taken out. Shipping to States should be in $300 range or less based on previous experience.

These look good on the 993 but definitely need the color that the color Porsche crests add to the wheel or painted centers to match. I'm surprised that there isn't more of a deeper dished rim on the rear wheels. My 11" wide 17" fuchs on the SC seem to be pretty deep compared to the fronts unlike these new 18".
