I think it's an interesting option. The style looks descent. It could be the best alternative to original Fuchs (which seem to be getting more rare and more expensive).

I think it might look good on a 996 or newer, sort of like an updated new-gen Fuchs look. Pictures installed would help though.

Does that mean you think the style is getting worse?

FWIW, I don't like it at all.

I've never liked wheels with all the little bolts. Loose those and it would probably be a pretty good option, particularly, if, as I am assuming, it comes in many different colors.

I'd like to see these on a car. Perhaps something like my 1986 Carrera. It'd be nice to get 17x8 and 17x7s on there.

I like the fact that they look like the Fuchs. I've never been a huge fan of the "exposed bolt" look. However, the combo of old-with-new is interesting to me.

Does that answer your question?

Are they 2 piece, 3 piece, or are the perimeter bolts just for decoration?
Are they cast or forged?
Are they made in America, in an environmentally responsible factory using properly documented workers?
