Fuchs for 993

To me the Fuchs just look much more substantial in smaller diameters (if that makes sense), they lose much of their visual appeal stretched to 19". IMO 18" twists look about perfect on 993's, the 17" OEM Cups really do look small in comparison. Only aftermarket wheel that looks right for me on 993's are BBS LM's. To each his own.....

personally speaking, I am a strong believer in age-appropriate porsches, meaning I LOVE the 17" standard Cup wheels on 993's because it is appropriate for the model and years of these cars. Fuchs were awesome, but for earlier generations. I also hold these thoughts about duck tails on 993's (again, simply my opinion, which I'm certain not everyone will agree to).
Your decision - your car. Whatever makes you happy!

As for the Fuchs?? ...not on a 993, IMHO. Heck I'd much rather go with the 5-spokers from the MY02 or the newer one (997?) as both these styles look "right" for our cars. But not the Fuchs in my eyes. OTOH, I'd love love LOVE to have these Fuchs in 17" for my SC ...getting the right tires in 16" is getting stupid difficult.

I love the look and have been waiting patiently for a real delivery date. If 17's can be spaced properly for a wb then I'll go that route. My 18" hollow twists will go up on a shelf until selling day...

As a fan of Techart Formulas (which were the closest aftermarket wheels to look like a Fuchs until recently), I like the new Fuchs as well as the 19" "Fuchs" wheels on the 997 Sports Classic on a 993. The wheels (and 19" size) don't work for all cars and colors, but as shown on Graham's and Jauder's speedsters, on the right car, they look perfect!

Unfortunately I don't have any pics. They were mounted on a late 80s 911, 2 17" on one side and 2 18" on the other, for display purposes.
I'll try to find pics elsewhere.
