I have the Starke "Fuchs"-style wheel, in Black finish, and I've been quite happy with the wheels. They look great, and the price was fantastic.


(Yes, that's a 15 gallon pot full of Chili in the front seat...)

If you know beans about Chili, you know that Chili has no beans...

Well I went in for the machined finish on my 996, Im very happy with the look. I didnt need any spacers, but thinking maybe for the front. Here are a few shots.

Very Nice. Specs/offsets, please.

Looking around for some wheels for my 997.1 S cab so I wanted to see if anyone had any long term test updates to this brand.
Thanks in advance

Have had mine for a couple years now... No issues with them. No bends or cracks. Good wheels for the money in my opinion.

Mine are a little over a year old- no issues. Going to be replacing the tires on the rears soon.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but I wanted to give a wheel update. After nearly 6 years and less than 20K miles added, I discovered a crack in one of my rear wheels. The wheels were off the car while doing a brake service and while cleaning them I noticed it and have no idea how long it has been like this. There is no other damage to the wheel, the tires have never been changed while using these wheels, and the wheels have only been off two other times. There is no specific event that I can recall that would cause this - no auto-x or track days. It is basically a weekend car on relatively good Southern California roads.

This is just a heads up to those that might still be using these wheels. I am also hoping to find a rear replacement in anthracite to replace this cracked wheel (to maintain a complete set) so if you have one, please DM me or respond to the thread. Or as an alternative, if anyone wants to buy my set I am open to offers.
