I give up on looking for real Fuchs with the RSR finish that are in decent shape and at all affordable.
Found these on a tip from another thread: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?Pr...Code=C32-FU172B 7 x 17. I will be installing them on AA's 5 lug adapters which means that they will be sticking out an additional 1 inch. Is the 5x130mm bolt pattern what I want - or the 5 x 112? Thanks as always for all the help here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/party.gif) those look like the type of copies with the square cut pedals. not a good look in person you can have real fuchs refinished in and RSR finish I guess it depends if you 1) really have to have 17's 2) mind having that square cut pedal that looks a lot like a fake |

I think Brant is correct, put these on yer v dub, they'll look strange on a Porsche. Call Henry at supertec performance, he's had wheels around. He and I traded a set a few years ago. Also, maybe give Al Reed a call. He does the refinishing and he may have a lead on some wheels.

I saw a set of brand new 16" Fuchs replicas at Parts Heaven (in their showroom) and they looked much closer to the original in finish.

I have two 17 X 9 from Wheel Dude in the RSR finish. They are very nice and are priced well 689.00 for two shipped to me in Florida.
TC also has a pair of them. Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) WheelDude.com |
