I'd like a set of these but polished like original fuch wheels


Thanks for the feedback,

We have a set here that we were probably going to do in high polished spokes and lip with gloss black between and gloss clear over the polished as well.

We will see how those turn out and post more photos soon.

If one wants Fuchs-style wheels, Fiske and BraidUSA also make them and in custom sizes, widths and offsets. Both good companies you can trust.

Rear wheel offsets are important for the right fit. Factory MKI C2s were between 63-67mm for 10inch wide wheels.

Great looking wheel, WD is very close

I's suggest satin / anodized (think RSR) for the spokes and rim, you seldom see Carreras with shiny / chromed wheels

Thanks for sharing, the gig line looks to be right in the same place as the lines we did on ours... just for reference.

Be careful, if you send those here, you may not recognize them when they come back...

18x10 (et. 65) Stock.

However when you modify the suspension the wheels lines change and a lower off-set will then be necessary if you expect the wheels to line up flush with the body lines.

I really like these, I am always worried they will look to retro. But seeing the pics they look great. originally on the black car I thought the black centres were the best, but seeing these polished ones I ve changed my mind
