I don't know. I'm so used to the genuine 16" Fuchs look that everything else just looks wrong. Even 17's look wrong.

Hmmm, I have to be honest.
I like it but.... no aftermarket Fuchs ever seems to get the edges of the petals right (read: completely to my liking.)
But it sure looks like a quality wheel.
Got more pics?
(any test done regarding strength and stuff?? It's forged so that can't be bad, right?)

The forging is DOT/SFI tested and made it through testing flawlessly

Wow. There is virtually no sidewall. The ride must suck this side `till Tuesday.

It is beautifully done though!

Interesting, but I'd to see the entire car before I can tell if I like it.

I agree, I think. I like the Jeff Alton/Zuff 17" wheels, but I think I like the 16" Fuchs even better. 17" BBS LMs do look good though.

Does anyone make forged Fuchs replacements in 16" size?

18" is too much in my opinion, but if there are guys riding around with goofy looking 22" on their impalas then there will be someone that likes 18s on their 911.

Iozzio had this link posted earlier.
Why he removed it IDK.

I can't help but wonder how it will look on a 911.

You can get brand new Fuchs from Porsche or Wheel Enhancement. Not cheap, but you can get 'em.

Agreed 18" is too much. That red SC/Carrera looks really off. Funny you mention the impala w/22's. Usually those are jacked to the sky to fit the dubs on there. In this case the 911 is slammed down to w/in a ch of the ground and the wheel proportions are all wacked out. Looks like a photoshop mistake IMO. That car must ride like poo and handle equally crappay.
