6061 billet, now you know where the cost comes from. They’re not ghastly; I’ve seen a lot worse installed on Porsches. I prefer a more period correct look so I if it isn’t Fuchs, I’d be looking at Minilites…

They look like someone shaved a 1/4" off the face of a fuchs wheel. Not sure if they're worth the price though. It's hard to beat the look of 5 lug Fuchs.

I'd suck donkey balls before buying anything that had Wheel Enhancement involved.

I'd put some on mine if they were custom offset to allow for 7" on skinny fenders.....and someone gave them to me (I'm not paying that much for a wheel on a VW)

Looks a bit too much like my old black 4-bolt fuchs for my tastes though.

The black car pictured kinda changes the whole issue, huh......?

nope, still a flower, just a black one in that pic.


And a standard factory Fuchs wheel doesn't?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) All these really are, are Fuchs with the center of the spoke cut out. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I do like them in black, but they are too rich for my blood!

Could you set up a CNC machine to simply cut out the opening in some Fuchs? They basically look like that's what they are.

I watched the video for his wheel launch on youtube and right away thought to myself how hard he is trying to push the product, ugly imo. Also you are right, like a cheap Fuch with holes. Drinking game, watch the video and drink everytime he says Iconic

This is the new Magnus Walker wheel launched yesterday. They are Fuchs style built by Fifteen52. Their website does not have pricing for these but other wheels from the company start at $999 each. I don't think I will be buying these any time soon but the look cool.





they are very reasonable, 700 per wheel. that is awesome.

I wouldn't machine the surface off of any wheel. There is a lot of engineering involved in designing a wheel - need to account for structural integrity and anticipated load forces. These wheels are not merely shaved down Fuchs.

There was no shaving of any kind in the making of these wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Bumping an old thread to see if anyone has put these on a 914 yet??

Truth be told, seeing a few of his videos and seeing these wheels is what really got me to thinking how much I missed having a 914 and 911.

I think these would look great on a GT flared 914...I'm sure someone will beat me too it unless I win the lotto soon!

Is it wrong that I kinda like the silver steal wheel look?

I think a teener could look cool with a set of 944 turbo spare wheel steelies powder coated.

I like them but its too bad they couldn't make them closer to factory look, especially given what MW has done for the marque.

What Magnus has done for the Marque? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

More like the Wave of the Marque has done for Magnus!

Don't get me wrong, he is a good guy, but he happened to be in the right place at the right time

Certainly cashing in on his 15 minutes of Fame
