Hello Louis.

Are you interested in selling your stock rims?

Ha - just did these too! Mspeedster made me do it.

So now it's an outbreak - congrats to everyone joining the club!

The problem with the Otto Fuchs wheels is they only make one fitment which is very close to Porsche's WB spec and nowhere close to the NB spec. They claim they work on either car, but that seems odd. I would have liked to gone with them, but at that price and cost for a trial, it wasn't worth risking a fit problem and the Porsche wheels look fantastic - beautifully finished.

Default Looks fantastic on black!

I agree with you on the German Fuchs. I wanted them for all the reasons anyone wants forged, but they're expensive, they look good in 17" and 18" but not in the 19" version, and if I'm honest with myself, I'd never be able to appreciate the weight/strength difference in 99% of the driving that I do. For my car, I liked the look of these Porsche Sport Classics best...and for the Suncoast price, I couldn't pass them up!

They look nice. I assume the added weight of the wheels are not going to be noticed in normal driving.

Default I like 'em both

Looks great Luis! I changed my side guards to black too. Kinda Speedster-ish.

06C2s, classic look on silver! Looks great!

Both wheel packages are great looking but I think I agree with Pete could just be the primered bumper. Glad you love them. Choosing the right wheels can be tough as one set of wheels look dynamite on one car or a certain color car but not on another. Cheers and thanks for sharing. Paul
