Personally I like my own 'custom' Fuch knock offs better than either the other $6k/ etc ones. Bit heavier though...but MUCH less expensive

Sorry but only FUCHS forged for me as 5 spoke FUCHS were on all earlier 14"&15" 911s. Check out the competitive FUCHS USA price! Porsche 21" forged on my 2020 Panamera!

OK! Doesn't mean that only FUCHS made the only FUCHS wheels that are relevant regardless of PRICE or whether they are forged or not!

at the end of the day, just because someone did something 40 years ago doesn't mean technology and style hasn't evolved to do it better. From an aesthetic standpoint, the AFTERMARKET Fuchs wheels look rather chunky and the squared off lip caters to a more old school look than a modern one, which the OEM fuchs actually achieve better.

For 98% of owners, a wheel being forged is just a dick swinging contest and probably doesn't actually equate to much real world performance. And for the record, I ran a wheel company for a few years if you care for where the opinion is coming from.

Forged technology still outdoes old school cheap cast and that is why all high end use forged as their top of the OEM line wheels.
Get over it.

Yeah, all the old school cheap cast wheels that Porsche keeps putting on their cars. What a bunch of dummies. Terrible technology. How could they ever release such junk on the road.

When you have designed, engineered, sold and manufactured wheels of your own - then I'll get over it. Blanket statements like yours come from a place of truly not understanding the differences of what goes into creating products at different engineering/design/price points.

But marketing surely works and how people spend $10k on wheels that are no better than something you could get for $2k. BUT THEY ARE FORGED.

Man who has nothing of intelligence to respond to (in what wasn't even an argument...), resorts to flippant words of kindness. Don't you have anything better to do online?

The ones on EBay look in pretty good shape nothing a little cutting and buffing wouldn’t make a 10/ 10 out of them. I like mine a lot but wrestle with having then centers powder coated satin black
