Not sure whether this has already ben posted, but there were a couple of reports in the German motoring press this past week that Fuchs (Firma Otto Fuchs of Meinzerhagen) is getting back into the wheel business.



The plan is to produce (among other things) the old Porsche OME wheels, as well as a new take on the old wheels for the newer water-cooled cars.



No news yet as to when these will be available.
I thought Fuchs never left the wheel business. They just stopped making the old style wheels for Porsche as they, meaning Porsche, didn't want to make them anymore and they own the rights to the pattern or dies. Fuchs have continued tomake wheels for Porsche and other makes. They just stopped making those styles-until now. Or at least that's what I thought.
