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:

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.

They look great on a Silver 911. Great choice.

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!

I am pretty sure the ones at Suncoast are the OEM Cast ones. They are pretty heavy, not sure if I would be able to tell the difference. Pretty expensive for Cast.

I already have Factory Black wheels so I am not sure I want another set of Black Wheels, that is what is stopping me at this point. That and the weight, I do think they look great.
