New 19" Fuchs

I gather that these are now available from Fuchs.

Has anyone ordered them from Germany? If so what are delivery times like? Anyone know of a North American distributor???

If these are actual Fuchs wheels (not replicas), they should be available through any Porsche dealer.

I saw those in a dealer the other day - they're called a 'retro' wheel package or something like that...I didn't actually see the Fuchs name anywhere on them.

That looks like a photoshop job. I know the 997 Sport Classic wheels are not made by Fuchs and I think they are available through Exclusive or Techquipment.

The petals stick out too far on the fronts, but otherwise the rear looks pretty good to me.

Just wondered whether anyone had already purchased these—and how that went.

I think they only make widths/offsets for the AWD 997 (Widebody).

I would prefer the Sport Classic wheels if these are only available for the AWD cars. The fronts are kinda fugly.

The rear's don't look bad, the front just look wrong. And look much like my Rota's 7.5x17" front did; I sold them but not due to a product issue. Anyone heard a weight yet?

Those Sport Classic look very different from the Fuchs wheels in my first post.

Anyone know the real story here?

What's what?

Sport Classics are really nice and Fuch's are equally classic. I would take either on a 997.
