Which Fuchs Are More Sought After?, Looking for info/opinion to keep cost down Options

[kconway]

I'm looking for a set of 7's and 8's but can't decide if I want to go 15" or 16". I'm leaning toward the 15" as I like a full sidewall, nothing smaller then 55 series and leaning toward 60 series tires. I like a softer ride and the car is strictly a weekender, no autox. TireRack seems to still have a pretty good selection in both sizes and I won't need anything wider than a 225 tire.

However; $$$ is always a consideration. So...which size are cheaper 15x8 or 16x8 in the long run? I've got a pair of 16x7 and would consider selling or trading if it makes sense to go to 15's.

It took me a long time to find mine pare and a found a set of 6” an 8” 16” from a special addiction 911. I paid $1,000. Will refinish. 7” and 9” 16’ I paid $1,300. Last year. Polished perfect. 7” and 9” 16’ I paid $1,000. 3 years ago needed rubber and refinishing. . For my Carrera. 2- 7” 16 “ I paid $300. Here last year. I will refinish.

This is a special chart for factory wheels to give you the offsets and the numbers. http://members.rennlist.org/911pcars/WheelWts.html

Ebay today
7 +8 16” buy it now $1,850.
7 +8 15” buy it now $1,300. Tires are hard to get

Now with the knowledge that old rubber can break up, I have perfect looking rubber. Rubber that has new nubs with 00 dates on it. It is something to think of when getting wheels. I am sold on 16” but the wide 15” look very cool.

8 -16” are hard to find in the right offset that look right. You want the ones that look deep not like a 7” from the outside. Not 951.362.117.00; offset compatible for front application on 911. This is a 944 set up. CK numbers.
