I'm looking for a set of 8x16 Fuchs wheels and the real deal is quite hard to find.
I located a set of replica wheels, brand new, for $235 a piece. They look nice enough, are about 2lbs heavier than the real ones and only come in the 911 offset. Made in China. The weight does not concern me much (i have torque) and the 911 offset just means i need to get different spacers, which is fine too. Anyone got any feedback on those wheels?
