Will submit photos as soon as I am authorized to release them. What I have learned from dealing with FuchsRacing is that making an updated Fuchs, true to the real form of the single piece forged wheels, is very difficult. Most have compromised on the shape with a hint of the 5 petal Fuchs look,--and routinely have pressure cast them to save money. But still, the look is wrong. I will get after them (FuchsRacing) to try to release a photo or two.

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.

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