LOL.... You must like the factory steel 912 wheel I bet. Fuchs is iconic, simply old school Porsche. Why do you think Porsche brought the Fuchs back into production with the 19" wheel? Because people love them.

these look great on 930 as deepdish 16" . as 19" the design is stretched and looks like crap on 997 or 996.

Riddler, I completely agree. The original Fuchs were OK, but the new Fuchs didn't translate/upscale well to 19" wheels. They look smaller that 19" and the spokes are disproportionate to the wheel. The aftermarket "Fuchs style" wheels are even worse.

Obviously, not all people. I'll bet they would make great boat anchors.

I had Fuchs on my 1967 and 1986 911's and loved the look. They belong on those marks. If they came with a deep dish for a 997 I'd think twice.

I think they (the new Porsche Sport Classic) look great...so much so that I stored a nice set of Champions to put them on. I get thumbs up from other P Car owners around here and the local shop guys too.

What wheels are you running on your Porsche, Looks like a 996 from your avatar...you sound like an old man stuck in in the past.
Get with times.

Thanks for the calendar advice, I'll keep that in mind for the next dead thread I spark up.
Perhaps don't reply if they are to old for your liking.

Forgestar CF10 wheels in Gunmetal during warm weather and Porsche Carrera S II in winter.

Obviously, you a) don't know 911s very well and b) also don't read well.

Strange that you say I am the one "stuck in in the past" when, in fact, you are the one that likes the Fuchs wheels... which are a design from decades ago!

Hey cool guy!! 911 owner LOL
The new 19" sport classic Fuchs was put out a couple/few years ago. Why did they bring them back, and why are 997 owners wanting to have these wheels. They look amazing on a lowered 997/993etc... They are a new 19" design style that look and fit perfectly. New school stuff bud! They share similarities to the couple decades old FUCHS but have more curves for the newer body styles. The
Sport Classic Look much better than the
FS CF10 especially the gun metal ones.
