997_rich

Do you have a pic of the front wheel as well? getting the front wheel right on the 997 is tough since the brake is so large. It doesn't seem to lend itself to the fuchs look without some adjustment.

Thanks

I'll ask and try to get a front image. I had somewhere some time ago, but it wasn't as nearly developed as this one is.

Does anyone have these US Fuchs wheels on his car ?
Do they exist now ?
From design I like them best and would like a set on my just acquired 07 turbo.

+1 please.

Here they are directly from Porsche. I'm very tempted to get them for my Turbo and sell my HRE P40's. I
love the HRE wheels but would like a new look for my car.

Bob, those are not Fuchs and to me not worth the money.
They are simple cast wheels and therefore rather heavy.
The US Fuchs and the real Fuchs are forged, the German ones are nice and I might just go for those but the design of the US version appeals to me more.

So who has them and is happy with them ? It seems no one has them ?

I'm not big on the deep dish look of the Fuch's. Why would Porsche use the wheels I mentioned on their 200k 911 if they were so heavy? You would think the wheels on that car would be more than cosmetic

The Suncoast price with tires/sensors/mounted and ready to go is a pretty good deal. If I didn't have center locks I'd be very tempted to get a set.

I was considering getting the wheels and ordering the new Michelin Super Sport tires. These guys are well below most dealers when it comes to parts and accessories.

Because they can ! The weight of those wheels is known. A good deal heavier than the stock TT1 wheels (forged and made by Fuchs) and much heavier than the real Fuchs. What do you mean with deep dish ? I do not see a deep dish on the Fuchs. Here a picture of a turbo with the real thing :

The version I saw had a deep lip not like these. Thanks and where would I get more info on these assuming they are available

Found another picture of the real Fuchs, after looking at the pictures of the German and US Fuchs again and again I came to the realization I like the real Fuchs best but would prefer them in the gloss black finish of the Sport Classics.
Noticed the back wheels of the US Fuchs have indeed a deep dish which you mentioned and have to agree that it does not look very nice.

I def like the look of the Porsche Sport Classics including the center cap and glossy finish. I'm tempted to get them anyway. The Porsche dealer is around the corner and they have a white speedster on the floor with these wheels. I may stop in and take a look this week.
