HRE C70 |
As soon as my stock 16" tires are worn out I will need to undergo this search as well. Since the selection of 16" tires are almost non existant, I will likely move to 17" wheels. Having read all the Zuffenhaus threads from initial development by Jeff, I can't believe they still have such a long delay. Authentic Fuch look are my priority and Zuffenhaus nails it, plus they are lightweight. Rota Fox is another one to consider. I do like the the HRE C70.
Tough decision, but if I had to move quickly, I would keep the OE 16'" Fuchs and go with 17" C70 wheels |

Fact is, if you want custom and you want quality, you must be willing to wait.. The car that the wheels go on if a 1 of 1 color on a limited 1 year only build, so it has the have little things perfect.. |
I have a set of 9 & 11 x17 3 pc Fuchs/BBS with 255 fronts & 315 rear Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3. Less than 3K miles on the tires.

This is a slight sidetrack, but I think it's worth mentioning.
I'm producing a few items for early 911's right now.., exact reproductions of original rare parts for 65 to 73 911's. Items such as the original brass base material muffler tip with the square'd off tip. 67S only chrome and aluminum pieces. Houndstooth fabric, etc. The issues that I'm finding right now is a complete slowdown in the manufacturing process. You would think that in this economy that it would be easy to get things done as there is a lot of latent manufacturing space. Well, this is wrong. Manufacturers have fired people, downsized their capabilities, shuttered factories, and mothballed machinery. My lead times are double (at a minimum) of what I've been originally quoted. I've spoken to others involved in similar businesses, and they are all saying the same thing. Also, the time it's taking to get a "fix" on a proto and for it to get corrected and a new sample delivered is unreal as well. I think I could get my work done much faster in a better economy based on what I know now. I thought I'd add my own .02 to this... regards, Eric |
Well, I guess there's no need to ask when the centerlock hubs & wheels will become available...that's likely to happen only when the high-demand bread and butter fuchs wheels get upand running.
I WILL wait for those items! |
Jim Torres in SoCal sells the center lock hubs & wheels.

Sorry if my above post was confused with you being part of the reason why wait times are so long. I meant it as a thanks for putting quality above a quick buck. |

Yep, they are capturing the high interest rates of today...
I view them as a custom wheel. Custom anything often requires at least a substantial pre-payment. |
we sell the center lock 17's as well- one piece and 3 piece versions
