Source of Fuchs Reproductions?
 
I bought my 86 930 about 15 years ago. It came with Fikse wheels. I like them but I would prefer to have the original Fuchs look on the car.

Any suggestions for a source? I’m looking for stock sizes.

Looks like Rose Passion carries the 8X16 Euromeisters but they're out of stock on the 9X16.

i would go with Braids..
I went with Braids myself with 17' size

i used 17" Braids check to be sure you can get the tires you want before you decide between stock 16s and 17s you can get really nice braid 17" rim wider with a deeper offset and not use the factory spacers .

Is that a Zink FV?

Go with 17" very limited rubber for 245/45-16".

I just did 17x8.5x10. Modern tire availabilty and still relatively wide. I debated going to 17s for 20 years.

went with braid offset info in the link: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/874996-show-us-your-braid-wheels-8.html#post12575320

Fikse makes an awesome fuch replica. Get in touch w them and see if they can take your old rims separate them and put fuch centers in your old barrels. You can use the same tires and I bet it will be a lot cheaper to go that route.
