Not sure of the specific sizes involved, but I understand that Porsche still orders wheels from Fuchs on a somewhat regular basis.

Pretty sure it's Daytona. Maybe 1973 - the year Gregg and Haywood won after a long battle with Donahue and Follmer ?

I'm not too sure of the driver, but the car is an ST, and the track does look like the Daytona banking.
I'm making an ST replica. Here's some more candy:

So that's "Woody" ????
The first pic is quite definitely Daytona 1973..... car is a 2.8 RSR. Look here for a pic of the identical the winning Haywood/Greg car---------> http://www.qv500.com/porsche91124p7.php or here for a pic of the Penske/Donahue model--> http://www.islandcollectibles.net/island/icp911blt.jpg (Sure looks like Smith, though....)

Maybe these guys in Germany can help. I know they do service and mods to Fuchs, and the might be able to source a couple of 15" for you: http://www.felgen-service.de/
