Show Me Your Non-Fuchs Wheels

I know it's heresy, but I have Fuchs and don't really care for them.

Do you have non-Fuch's wheels on an older Porsche? If so, please post pics as I'd love to see them!

Also, if you have an opinion about them (whether they were worth the expense, any problems with the finish, etc) that would be helpful, too.

Maybe some brands might help your search?
Try for Ruf Spedlines, bbs LM, fikse fm5 or fm10. Those are some of my favorites for an older 911.

I'm still trying the advanced search to get some more images, RSbob. And the brands ARE a big help Ayles. I'm Googling this right now!

Well, a bunch of pictures, yet we still have seen nothing that looks better than the factory Fuchs.

I beg to differ... The factory Fuchs are FUGLY!!! The only vehicle I will ever own that will have those on is my split window bus. The Cup 1's are a way more attractive factory wheel.

A PO who will go unnamed *cough*Leland*cough* sold my Fuchs to buy non-Fuchs. Right now I'm running Design 90's. The price was right and they are only about 11 years wrong.



If money was no object, I'd get a tail and maybe these wheels.

I have a set of 16-7/8 Phone Dials too. Early offset.

Prefer them over the 16-6/7 Fuchs. In particular the 16-6" Fuchs is unattractive due to the large vertical section between the spokes and the rim.

A Blast from the Past, me cab with 7&9X16 One-G rims

Wearing 7&9X17 Forgelines

81SC with 7&8X16 Ronals

And my favorite aftermarket rim for real 911s
8&9X17 Rufs

Kinda wist I still had those pimpy One-G rims.
