i disagree, it's mostly the offset...
Why do deep 6 fuchs cost more then regular 6 fuchs?
cause they are rarer, but also because they look better.

Why are 16 inch 6" fuchs so undesirable?

The classic fuchs always looked better with depth.. these new ones don't have depth, worse, they stick out...'
And i think it's because they stick out that they look to sharp.

Stijn,

I don't disagree they would look better with a deeper off set. But they do give (IMO) a better or should I say more classic look to the car. I don't like the look of most of the new stock Porsche rims. Where I will differ is that they look sharp because they are sharp as in the edge of the petal. Even with this edge they look better then most of the other stock rims. Look at the lip on these two rims not that much of a difference.

Again IMO put the fuchs from the blue speedster on the GT3 and you have a different car. The rims on the GT3 are just awful.

I really like them on the modern cars. Give me a set of those, a ducktail, and Carrera side scripts on a 996 and I'm a happy man.

The Porsche Fuchs (such as on the blue speedster, above) have petals that are too thin. The Fuchs Fuchs would get my money.
