Guys, thanks for all the advice, I am happy to say I just gave Jim at Tru Wheel design a deposit on some Fuchs cores. I will have my new wheels in a few weeks. They will be exactly like the ones one Buckterrier's red 911. Hey Buck if you are still following the thread post what tire size you are running and if possible some pics showing how well the wheels fill out the wheel well. Similar to the ones that Moses (Rota's) posted. This would help me assure myself of the sizes before its too late. 17 x 7 and 17 x 9. just like yours.

So far great experience with TDW!

Christmas is coming early

Finally got my wheels in!! I am going to get them mounted tomorrow. The wheels look great. They exceeded my expectations. The only thing I did was buff out some marks and minor over spray. I opted to paint them vs. powder coat. This was for pure aesthetics, as you can see in the pictures the finish is incredible.

I will post picts once they are on the car. Jim at TDW was great to work with even if it did take almost 3 months.

Here they are

Front 17 x 8 225\45\17

Rear 17 x 9.5 255\40\17

Goodyear F1 GS-D3's

Hats off to Jim at Tru Design Wheels. Perfect fit, no rubbing vibrations or problems. One wheel did not even need weights when balanced!

Do those that run this set up, is there any issue with rubbing front or rear or have you rolled the fenders?
