The How do your Fuchs look? thread

deoxford · 02-27-2005, 09:46 PM

I am trying to decide what to do about my rims
I have a 72 with 16's , black centers

I would like to see painted and all the rest of the versions of these rims to help me decided what to do with them.

THey need to be redone soon, and I can't decide what to do.

here is the rims now

buster73 · buster73's Garage

7/8x15 painted centers with polished rim.

Steve87-911 · Steve87-911's Garage

Polished petals and lips. (7/8 x 16) My
fave.

I like your stock look best.

IROC · IROC's Garage

I agree with strother. I think the black centers accent the black trim on the car very well.

I'm going through the same thought process too.

Here's my recent thread with all the details:
Lotsa Pics - 16x7 wheels on longhood

Here's some pics of my 1970 with stock finish and with black centers.

I am leaning more towards the black centers now. I think your car looks good with black centers as well.

I was wondering if anyone has done, a silver painted center

jmz · jmz's Garage

7 & 9 X 16. polished paddles & lips

but I think I actually liked the look of 15x7s / 8s with a stock non-polished look better.

I prefer painted black anodized lip, but that's not what I currently possess.

These polished with black webbing look nice too.

Just back from Al Reed. Original finish:

911S Targa · 911S Targa's Garage

Purchased from Fasty70 of these boards. Fully polished 16x6 / 16x7.

htron435 · htron435's Garage

Just finished polishing these. Time consuming, but pretty easy otherwise.

JMZ, is that by the Rothko Chapel and De Menil? I can't believe I've never seen your car around!

Its all been done before !

(apologies for the non-artistic, cr@ppy background photo)

I like the siilver centres as it "grows" the wheel. A number of 911 owners have asked if they were 17s. You also get to see all the detail of the Fuchs centre that is hidden with the black centres. Just MHO.

I am however, going to do a second set in faux-RSR next month to see how I like that look.

I really like the all black pedals with polished lips and caps. It looks like a single large lug nut ala racing cars.

TerryH - Man, I dont even especially like Targas, but that Aqua one is awesome. By the way, I lived my whole life in Whittier, where are you and do you own that car? Drop me a PM, let's have a chat.

P.S. I think my opinion of Targa is changing. The yellow one from Vegas is great too. Jay, your car looks great, the one with the fuzzy focus aorund it, awesome photo. Love that color too.
