Default Fuchs wheels

It's not that I don't like my factory wheels, because I do, but I reckon these Fuchs would look awesome. Has anyone got these that they can share a picture? The price is good as well. I thinking these might be a very cool, traditional look.

Looks like Wheel Dynamics sell these wheels for $1899 and they're available in 19x8.5 front and 19x10 and 19x11 rear. IMO they look ok (not spectacular but not bad either) and have a nostalgic look to them. But on the other hand, it's like watching an old movie you remember to be good as a kid. They're never the same when you watch it again.

Actually you are right as well. They would look better on a Black car probably.
Still a very cool wheel.
Thanks for the picture

Personally, I like them. Wouldn't mind having a set, and like the retro look. The 19's version looks far better than the 20's, IMO.

Here's some pics of my '07 997.1 with the real forged Fuchs 19" OEM-sized wheels.

Best regards,
Eric

Those Fuchs look great. I'd avoid the fake, cheap lookalikes.

They look amazing IMO. I think I need a set now.

That's the look I want. Thanks for the picture.

To me the proportions just don't look right on modern cars with short sidewalls. I love them on the older 15, 16, 17 inch wheels with tall sidewalls. But that me :-)
