Question Looking for faster rims/little Fuchs (15x6)...

I'm reconsidering the options for rims; still seems hard to beat the value of used factory rims. Unfortunately, in my class (ITB) I'm restricted to 15x6" rims. I'm using 924 and 924S rims (spiderweb - BBS-style - and phonedials), and am wondering what other options might be out there. Is there such a thing as a 15x6" Fuchs wheel, what did they come on (early 911/912, I'm thinking?) and are they the typical $500-600 as the 15x7 Fuchs are?

TIA...

Absolutely there was a 15x6 Fuchs. I ran them on my 914 (with 6 cyl running gear). Most had silver spoke faces, as opposed to the total black centers that you see with most Fuchs alloys. $500-$600 for a set of 4? I guess that the price hasn't changed in 20 years.

There are also 15x6 cookie cutters which are lighter tha the phonedials and usually cost about $250 a set.
