New Fuchs wheels

[zztot]

I am curious if any technical person can weigh in on new Fuchs wheels…..I.e. 16 x 7/8/9
New wheels have different part numbers and weigh substantially less than earlier manufactured wheels. Thanks

There's a few threads on the topic:

Got my brand new Fuchs 16x7 yesterday

New production authentic Fuchs wheels

9 x 16 Fuchs Evolution wheel... 13.15 lbs!

Quite a bit of weight savings. 20% for some sizes.

I have a set of the Fuchsfelge wheels, and I'm perfectly happy with them.

Forged.
Made by the original manufacturer.
To the original dimensions and aesthetics.
And even lighter than the original wheels.

I can deal with not having the Porsche part number stamped on the back.

Y’all missed my point……they look great is NOT the answer.
I am asking if someone with technical knowledge can tell me if the new wheel is equal or better than the originAl wheel.
They look great Is NOT what I am looking for.
Thanks……..

I would think it would be better than rolling around on a 40 year old wheel.

If they look the same, work the same, smell the same BUT are lighter they are better.

I'd like a couple of 16 8's to swap out my Maxilites.
