Does look great, but 17" forged Fuchs? Or custom? Or...?

They sure look like Fuchs to me! I can also attest to the fact they are 17" and they are entirely brand new-not made with old Fuchs centers.



These have had a bit of discussion here the last year or so:

17 Inch 3 Piece Fuchs Pricing Offer!

Looks like zinnmetallic to me. (A.K.A. "Metallic Zinc" or "Pewter Metallic" in the US market) Mine is zinnmetallic and that looks pretty close. If its polished up real good there's a faint tannish hint to the silver that really adds a depth to the color. Almost like a pearl gray sometimes. I love the color, but I'm a tad partial.

Here is mine, '81 SC repainted '87 Carrera color "Carmine Red" and with the 3.2 Carrera spoilers

Looking thru' this thread, it struck me that black-center wheels look more appropriate with a black Targa bar, and the cars whose wheels have polished centers/spokes look more "right" with with the stainless look Targa bar altho' the others did not look bad (how can a Targa look bad?) Anyone else have this opinion?
