Default Anyone have Fuchs replicas on their 997?

I already have two sets of rims, but still look at whats out there. I have recently taken a liking to the old Fuchs design and some of the 19 in ones available look pretty sharp. Anyone have them on their car?

If you search, you'll find several threads on the various options out there, with pics and links and everything.

Thanks cosm3os. I did do lots of searching and was more interested in seeing more examples , and opinions , on larger wheels appropriate for our year cars. I see lots of newer style wheels and I like several of them, especially the HRE 101,s. The older Fuchs style is kinda of cool though.

I have the Fuchs replicas from Tire Rack (Starke). They look great, and were great pricing. Had them on the car since May, IIRC, and its a daily driver. Search my posts, and you can see several pics.

Do the Starke’s work with Porsche center caps?

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.

The Starkes have different offsetst. Front is 46 and rear 52. my Sport Design are 57/51 I ordered a set with Mich 4S's and TPMS. Not sure of the offsets on my winter setup, Turbo II. Can't wait to get them. Now with my current 5 mm factory spacers, the fronts may need to come off but may do a 15mm or 17 in rear. I have a ECS try in spacer set to play with. Just waiting for warmer days. I need to install and test drive though to make sure they have no issues. I'm afraid that if they sit till spring and there is a problem, Tire Rack may not help. I will check their policy today. I may be selling my Sport Designs with Potenza's.

I see two different style center caps. Flat and concave? Are these the flat ones you have? Thanks! Mark

These were on a .2 C4S at the dealer my brother works for. They look so right on 997's
