Default Fuchs-made Wheels are back in 19"



Porsche's iconic Fuchs wheel was named so because it was originally produced by Otto Fuchs. The original manufacturer has released a modern version of their original classic available in 19". Sharing the same forged construction, matte black center and satin silver outer lip, this wheel is a perfect upgrade for any Porsche purist.

The wheel is currently available in 19x8.5 and 19x11 sizes. The 19x8.5 front wheel has a 56mm offset and weighs 10.5kg. The rear 19x11 has a 51mm offset and weighs in at 11.5kg.

The wheel accepts all Factory Porsche hardware and center caps.

speedART has intruduced this wheel as their RFD (Retro-Forged Design). Pricing details can be found online at 19" RFD Wheel Pricing.

The link for pricing details doesn't actually provide the price, only a deposit cost. Can these wheels be had in a polished finish, such as high polish rims with brushed centers?

sorry to have been dormant on this. There were some issues with the availability of the wheels. This has been sorted and here is a shot on the 997.

The pricing is now posted. The wheels are delivered with the traditional matte black center with satin silver lip.

We have received and shipped the first set of real 19" Fuchs

We took a few shots of the beautiful wheels before sending them on to their new owner.

Boxes fresh from Germany


Front and rear lip comparo

The label says it all


Fuchs Logo stamped on the wheel pad




We have more sets available to ship out. These wheels are made by Fuchs and are forged with an authentic finish.

Let me know if we can help you with a set of these iconic masterpieces.

I wonder why they completely skipped an 18" version?

I do not have anything concrete on what the reasoning was behind Fuch's developing this wheel in 19" only. But I have been told that they are looking at other fitments and sizes. There is nothing 100% at this time though.

18" diameters would make me think hard... and possibly cave.

I am in love.
I wonder how'd they'd look with Slate Grey....
Also, are they compatible with black Porsche crest center caps from Suncoast?

Hmm....
