I agree bout the deeper dish in front. Too many wheels looking like FWD offset, these new Fuchs included!!

The 19" Fuchs wheels just don't look right on a 996. They look fantastic on a 997, but I think it's because 997's were designed for taller tires, so they fill the wheel wells much more.

Default Fuchs FP.1 Wheels ...

Thinking about a new set of wheels for my '02 996tt. Has anybody put on a set of 19" Fuchs FP.1 forged wheels, from Fuchs Performance Group, on their 996?

$5600? you are in premium BBS and HRE territory. Fuchs looked great on the old 911s but the dated design wont look good on a 996 in my opinion.

I never liked those rims. I can't see anything appealing about them. They are old school and the spokes are hideous.
