Default Polished Fuchs on a 997

Has anyone gotten polished Fuchs for a 997S?
curious how they fit and do you need spacers?
A pic or ten would be most appreciated.

Not polished but black Fuchs, 19 inch made for the 997 so no spacers required.

Not polished(except the outer lip(?) if that is what you mean, or do you mean chrome like? These are 18" that I customized with the black insets as I like the reverse two -tone look on a black car.

I'm tending to favor the non-polished (shiny) lip of the Fuch style wheels. Nice.

Zuffenhaus 3-piece forged Fuchs-style. 18" available (shown with 17" - 8F and 9R). This wheel is offered on some Singer 911's.

Very high quality. A variety of finish options offered.

Inexpensive knockoffs (Starck - Tire Rack) no longer available I believe, and which aesthetically speaking I like better than the original Fuchs.
There are few other companies that make nice (not so inexpensive) knockoffs - check them out for reference in terms of price, weight, forged vs cast, etc:

Braid USA (out of Spain) / Augment Wheel Company (AWC) / Rose Passion ( out of France)

I'm sure there are others as well.

Here's my car with aftermarket Fuchs replicas. Lips are machined and centers are painted not polished. No spacers needed since they're made for the 997. +15mm offset front and rear.

Are those Fuchs or the OEM Sport-Classic cast wheels? Beautiful...

I think thats first ducktail I've seen on a cab, it looks great. If i had a cab the double bubble clam shells a must. Looks great david.
