17 inch fuchs style wheels

I am tired of trying to find decent rubber for my 16" Fuchs on my 930. Are there any reasonable quality 17 inch Fuchs style wheels that don't require a mortgage to get. I realize they won't be inexpensive. This is a street car, would like 7 or 8" fronts and 9 or 9+ rears, and I don't know where to look. Thanks,
Brian

another thought is downsizing the rear wheels to the 16x8 size used on earlier 930s -- this will not change the "look" of your 930 (as almost all of the inch is lost on the inside of the wheel), but opens up a TON of tire possibilities in the 225/50-16 size.

Hopefully this helps.

Let's catalogue all the Fuchs repros! - Rennlist Discussion Forums

There's a version of the thread on this forum as well, but it isn't up to date.

I've also made a thread about the dwindling selection of tires in 245/45/16, which gets updated once in a while. It's on this forum, here: 245/45/16 (yet again)

Take care!
