Love the Fuchs wheels - from Otto Fuchs? I suspect it was mentioned somewhere in this long thread - the wheels - are they 18"? What are the tyre sizes and spacers used if any? I am keen to get a set on my 95 993 NB. Thanks in advance.
The wheels on Speedy are the only obvious parts newer than a 993. Fuchs windmill wheels were featured on the iconic 1989 wide-body Speedsters, and Jäger wanted to complete Speedy’s homage to the classic 911 Speedster look. The problem was that Fuchs at the time didn’t make a size appropriate for the 993. Luckily, Porsche decided to put into production the “911 Sport Classic” wheel for its limited edition 911 Sport Classic in 2010. A modern update to the classic Fuchs of yesteryear, they look like they belong on Speedy from the get-go, and thanks to an intrepid Porsche Cars North America executive the set on the red Speedster was the first set installed on a customer’s car.

Here's a photo I dig of a RLer's NB 993 wearing 17" Otto Fuchs:

I tried some other OEM wheels but having seen Jager / Curve Lover's wheels on his GR 993 Speedster there was only one set of rims calling and and tempting me to spend yet more £/$ on my car.

Well done for making that decision easy for us!

Thanks for the info on them... now the question is to put them on my 993S or hold on to them for my Speedster build?!? ;-)
Hilarious Gumball quote ^^
but safety is no laughing matter - especially with an invaluable car's irreplaceable cargo.
Regardless of legalities or Concours rules, glad Marc & Debs drove safely to & from the show.

As seen on page 43 and page 49 of the "Speedster type 993 photo thread," another's on the road without:
Proves how hard Speedster parts are to obtain. Can no longer pick up a sales brochure (below) & order everything.
it would be great to see pictures of your cars outside of their normal routines - whether you track your Porsche, take it on adventurous mountain roads, or simply on picturesque cruises to your favorite site, we want to see it!
Show off your beaut and enjoy a picture of our 959 and friends at Willow Springs!
