Default Fuchs

I was hoping for Fuchs for the 997 for years.... but the only cars I have seen that are able to pull them off IMO are the two special edition cars from Porsche...those cars have a lot of other asthetic features that make them look great/unique and the fuchs seem to fit in well. The cars I have seen with fuchs added IMO just don't look right.... Good luck in your quest for new wheels, looking, seeking pic, PS work, etc is half the fun!

Although not actual Fuchs, I couldn't disagree more.

Agreed! I prefer my current setup, perfect blend of old and new!

Default You win

You got me, they do look right on that car (your car?) Maybe it is the color, white with the dark Fuchs... a first for everything. I think the contrast with the white etc looks nice.

CBnAT- if they aren't Fuchs brand, or Porsche Fuchs reissues what are they? They look great! They're 19"s right? do you have more pics especially of the front wheel at angles?

In my opinion, the front brakes on the 997 make it very challenging to have a nicely proportioned Fuchs-look wheel. I like the ones on CBnAT's car though- nice proportions.

My car is a C4S and they are the ones now being sold by Porsche. From what I understand they are not Fuchs brand. Only pics I have now are the ones that they dealer had on-line. Hope maybe this helps.

I think it looks great on black with the Carrera S stripe in silver. But on the all black car it has too much black for my taste. I think I'd go the silver Fuchs route for my own car.

That's been rumored for a while, we shall see.
