Listen, we are not looking for the last pound so if these wheels are to your liking you should take them. The weight penalty is not that big. Around 20 lbs more for the set if memory serves me right.
In Europe the Fuchs are cheaper than the Porsche Sport Classics so the choice is easy for me. Stronger, lighter and with a gloss finish they'll be just perfect. FYI, center cap "Porsche" is also possible on the Fuchs wheels. I believe the Fuchs are also available in the US, can't remember where though. This is not bad looking if your after even more of a retro look: |
wow the Fuchs look great on a 997!

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 :

I replaced the Ruger Classics with genuine Porsche Sport Classic wheels. The difference is noticable. I've wanted these wheels since I first saw them on the '10 Speedsters and Sport Classic 997s.

Very tempted by these wheels, only issue is I already have Black Wheels from the factory...........
|
So which version does Suncoastparts offer?
The forged ones? If that's the case then 5500 dollars for the set with tires is an excellent price! |
