I don't think any replicas are made in that size. FVD had some japanese cast Fuchs replicas, but only up to 8x15.

Considering how hard it must be to find tires in the correct size for 11x15 Fuchs they can't be *that* sought after? There must be some for sale somewhere? Actually I think I just read about some on www.elfertreff.de (911Forum).

The last manufacturer, to my knowledge, for custom 3-piece wheels with Fuch centers was Compomotive.
They no longer make 15 inch wheels.
Street tires are also now no longer made in the 285 or 345 sizes. So if you really have to have a set just hang in there, someone will be selling due to loss of tires to put on them.

Didn't HRE make some replicas? I thought they were on Jim Calzia's lightwt. that was in Excl. a few years ago.

Speaking of replicas, I was pleased to find that my 15x7s are indeed real and not fakes, as I had secretly suspected all along.

Each are stamped like this (after scrubbing off a few years of road grime and brake dust)...



When I saw the little fox heads on all four wheels, along with the smooth finish on the back of the wheels and the 911.361.020 part number I danced a jig in my front yard.

I think Performance Products still retails a reasonably good clone.
