They finally have them (or are at least showing them on their site....

Price is "doable"

Very surprised.....

Hmmm...gotta say I was skeptical--but, after looking through the gallery on the site, I think I like it...! Thanks for sharing!

Do you get the 19% VAT back on a wheel exported here??? Changes the price quite a bit.

As military in Germany, I could do it, but I am not stationed there anymore..... Still looking at other options.

I think they look pretty good. Wonder if they take factory center caps?

I'm not a fan of these at all. The Zuffenhaus / Jeff Alton (sans 18's) wheels are much closer to the original design than these.

FYI - all of the 993 pics (and most others) are photoshopped...

Agree. The 19's look even worse on the 993.

Would the 18" rears need spacers on a wide body?

The new 18" Fuchs are showing 10J x 18 ET65

I think the wide body OEM rear are 10J x 18 ET40

So that would require 25mm spacers, correct ?

I have to agree. I'd love a set of Zuffenhaus rims in 17" just like on the Singer Porsches. It's just bizarre that those "look" more authentic than actual Fuchs wheels in 17".

19" Fuchs don't look right at all to my eye.
