Those with 964s who are tempted by Fuchs but don't want to pay the Otto Fuchs price may have other options. This is from the Fuchs thread on the 964 forum

What other wheel lasted in production from the mid 60's to '89, then made a comeback? True design classic and beautifully made.
Hard to imagine they were smacked out of a solid billet then spun to shape.

Lots of 964 action at CCS today. Mr Black, 3.3T Cobalt (perhaps the one for sale? similar mileage), GR C4, and 3.6T Midnight blue (I think)

Have to remember to take pics in the future...

There's certainly a history building up there, albeit only of extraordinary proportions to a layman not in comparison to others here.

Starting to realise I miss the Turbo 3.6 a lot. I know that door is closed for good so I'll work on making Herman more personalised. Are there two rear heater solutions? A bypass and delete? I need to start ordering parts or the urge to buy another car will emerge.

Turbo 3.6 belongs to an around the world sailor who will pick it up when he is in NZ again. That's why it had been there for so long. What are they doing to Mr Black?

They look fantastic. Like the idea of black on alloy, definitely worth a few cans of plasti dip to test it out.

Installed an eBay sourced replica Aero style front lip this evening, looks good from a few metres but the fit and finish needs some fine tuning (light sand and minor reshaping using heat).
you have any close up pictures? how is it after you reshaped it with heat?

it looks pretty good from the picture you posted

D90's will have their day in the near future when all the over tyred 964's in the world lumbering around on 18" and 19" rims will be brought back to how they were when the left the factory.
Cookie cutters are next.

I'm sure you can find a willing owner to let you take theirs for a spin when you need (although that may not help long term...).

Will take some proper before and after shots when I fix it. Haven't done so just yet but may tonight.

Phil do a search on 993 board there is a guy with live access to PWSIS who can give you the factory build sheet for the car. my copy of PET used to do it but doesn't run on RHD 64 bit architecture I have now and there seems to be a comma conflict when I try running it on a 32 big emulator.

John. Harden up bro. That car was just s static display. Buy one of those 1:12 models if you need to get it out of your system ;-)

Jamie. Finally you get the Rooks from Steve in Oz. Mate how long did that take? 2.5 years?? Look brilliant mate. I'm not sure about the black centres yet - give them a go as they are for a while.,,?
