I will get after them (FuchsRacing) to try to release a photo or two.
These are the Techequipment on a Basalt Black turbo...

Is it me, or these Sport Classics just don't work well on darker colors?

Personally, I don't like the black centers on the Sport Classics on the darker cars. They are fine on the white cars and such, but I am shooting for something like GT Silver centers on my FuchsRacing wheels when they come through.

Does anyone have the PS auto art wheels? I've attached a pic here from thier website with a Gt3. I'd love to see more photos of the 18" or 19" size from different angles. They're forged 3 piece wheels from my understanding.

Hey guys, I didnt know this thread existed until just now. The real Fuchs are available from us as we are bringing them in from speedART in Germany. They were one of the only partners authrized to distribute the Otto Fuchs company to bring the real forged versions to market after Porsche decided to award the contract to a manufacturer producing a cast variation.

The wheels are a one-piece fully forged version in 19". Here are the images we shot of a set from last year showing the detail. Link

We sold a few sets last year and then things went quiet. There is a shipment in the US right now and a few sets are available if any of you are interested. You can see the available details, sizes, offsets and prices here.

Here is the original post too. It has a shot of a 997. The finish are more true to the originals....since they are made by the originals...

These are for wide body cars - right? Do you have sizes for the standard body C2 and C2S 997 cars?

I am not feeling the Fuchs or the OEM version of the same. The OEM version is $9K? Are you kidding me? They are waaaaay overpriced and, beside that, they look too small on a 911.

Back in the 1980s a single 7x16 inch Fuchs allow ran about $1750. (Much of that was a lousy exchange rate with the DM.)
