Fuchs porn. Have to share.

A true fan of the original Fuchs wheel, I recently found a set of 8" and 9" Fuchs for my 86 951. This proved much more challenging than I ever imagined as they are in high demand with 911 guys, and I wanted a set that were aesthetically matched. Because of the early offset and lack of abs, it is a perfect fitment for the 86 951 only, and allows for 225 245 widths. The visual difference between the 8" 951 wheel and the 7" 930 wheel is even more subtle than I imagined.

That's because the 951 eight inch wheel has pretty much the same 'dish' on the outside but is deeper inboard.

Here is my ex-'81 with 7 and 8 951's.....





And with 8 and 9 951's......






I had 2 sets of 7 and 8 951's for it - one with street tires and one set with Yoko A032R's for the track. I sold it with the street set and still have the track set plus a pair of 9 x 16" Fuchs...

And here are some I repainted myself....
