Fuchsfelge

I am wondering why Fuchesfelge doesn't offer 16 "or 17" wheels with proper offset for older 911's? Price of used 8" and 9" Fuchs rims is crazy. Fuchsfelge should be able to make new original wheels for same price as their other 17" wheels. I think that there would be a good market for them.

They make more money offering wheels to people who own $150k dollar cars instead of $40k dollar cars.

Call them and ask. Maybe they just haven't thought of reopening the line?

It seems to me that Fuchs wheels are more favorable with the older owners with older cars. I see all kind of crazy wheels on newer 911's. They don't care about the plain Fuchs style.

Not a whole lot more expensive than what people have been charging for used 8s and 9s...
