Getting frustrated searching for 16x8 911 offset Fuchs. I love the look but can't justify the 2K to have them in my hands in the next few days. I have a WTB thread here and on Pelican. Hopefully, someone has a decent set they want to part with for a reasonable price.
I see a bunch of 15's out there. Do they still even make tires to fit the 15x7 & 8's? Until then, let's see what you have. I do like Superlites, unfortunately they don't make them in 16x8's. |

Automotion had pulled the wheels from their site for a while. Now they offer 8x17 and 9x17, 8x16 and 7x16. Notes now say- "Manufactured using water & air cooled low pressure casting equipment resulting in the strongest and lightest cast aluminum wheels on the market. This design allows us to manufacture a wheel only slightly heavier than a more expensive forged wheel. Finished wheels are then completely X-Rayed to insure quality and strength." Have seen other manufactures us a spin-casting method. Cast will never be as strong as forged. Anyone know if the Fox Rota Linea Corse 17x9's will fit under the rears with AA flares? I'm also concerned about the strength. This car will see some track time. TC tried on his orange GT and it looked like the spacing was too tight. Tires were 245's. You might be able to fit if you pull the fenders a bit before paint. Yeah they were tight, but knowing that going in, you could massage the flares before & during installation |
