Default "NEW" Fuchs 5 spoke wheels???

I have seen various Fuchs ads showing the "new" version of the classic 5-spoke wheels.
Has anyone actually seen these wheels? Sizes? Prices?
Will the "fit" a 993?

Saw it on the blue 997 speedester. They're 19" and look good.
Don't know if it fits a 993, but why wouldn't they?

Jeff-- You're timing's good for windmill wheels:
Days ago, RLer Twin Screw installed 17" Zuffenhaus/Fikse wheels.

Today (Christmas), RLer BrandonH installed 18" Fuchs.

May 2010, I installed Porsche's OEM/Tequipment 19" Sport Classics.

Search & you'll find the answers you're after.
Start with the "For futuristic FUCHS fans: windmill wheels" thread, created in 2010 to provide info to RLers like you seeking modernized Fuchs.

They fit wide-bodies.
Mine (with a 997 Speedster in the background):

Jager,
Is yours a WB convertible?
Never saw one of those. Thought they only made NB convertibles. Great!

You are correct, sir: only a handful of WB 993 cabriolets & Speedsters in the world, but - IIRC - all were born as NBs.

Mine is a cab that blossomed into the Speedster configuration. Hence RLers dubbing her "Speedy."
Her wheels were the final step in the vision of a modernized WB 'G series' Speedster.
They're OEM on Porsche's limited edition 997/ 911 Sport Classic. Mine are the world's first Tequipment set installed on a customer's non-997.
(PCNA exec that likes 'Speedy' pulled strings to make that happen; completing her homage to the iconic '89 wide-body Speedsters.)

Much more info on the "Rennlist/ PCA member's 993 SPEEDSTER" thread, where you'll find WB & 'Fuchs' photos like these:
