Wheel Dynamics has the replica wheels from the 2010 Sport Classic 997 that are spot on. These are the OS II. They will be installed shortly. These are the gloss black with polished lip option.
Nowadays most cars have good looking wheels. Not like the old days of hubcaps, where a set of wheels really stood out. My GMC wheels look pretty similar to my Turbo II's. Hyundai's have fancy rims. I love HRE 101's. I think they are a more unique look. Crazy expensive. My point...these Fuchs are very distinctive . The replicas are affordable and I suspect will work great in everyday driving. Tire Rack has a closeout sale on them now.
These are Avant Garde Ruger Classics. I had them on my 997 as well.
They used to retail for $1400-$1600, but you can find them cheaper if you look.
I got mine from a local guy who ordered them in the wrong offsets for his Cayman for $900 or so.
Rotiform offers the appropriately named "FUC" model that is forged and completely custom built to your specs. Any sizing & any color you want all while being manufactured from T6 Aerospace-grade aluminum.
This is really a personal choice. When the retro fuchs style came out on the limited production Sport Classic 997 and Speedster 997, Porsche used the standard silver lugs. You can google pics. However, many have been using black lugs as well. It’s up to you. It is pronounced Foo-k-s.
Guys who have these wheels on: are your cars lowered? All the photos in this thread look to me like they are.
Also, am I understanding this correctly: the ones for $900 from Tire Rack need spacers but the $1800 ones from Wheel Dynamics are cast with the proper offset? Mine's a narrow body, came from factory with 19" lobsters.

My car is not lowered. The Tirerack ones did not need spacers, they had specific offsets for the widebody cars. I did wind up putting a spacer on the rears just to make it look a little better.

Tire rack, as far as I know, is out of the wide body posteriors. I ordered the NB 52 offset and I am getting 20mm ( I think) spacers.
