I'm a HUGE fan of the FUCHS wheels, but on your ride would still vote for the RS184s. The black wheels just don't match the best in my opinion on the grey vehicle. The silver wheels stand out nicely over dark grey

Both good choices, each a different look.
Personally black FUCHS, Black stone guards on the gray would be my vote.

Coin toss.. I like 'em both. I'm not a fan of 'all black' wheels, but I do love those Fuchs.

You have 12 replies so far, 6 for Champion 6 for Fuchs; don't know how much this thread is going to help your decision. FWIW, I'd go with the Champion's. Fuch's looked just right in the day on my 3.2 Carrera. Not as sure about about the retro look on a 997. Just my $.02.

Another vote for the Fuchs and black stone guard look.

I think a nicer photo shop of the stone guard might sway more votes in that direction. I had to visualize the stone guard of the 911 Speedster in place of your sloppy attempt of the black stone guard.
