I must be the only person on this forum who thinks Fuchs are ugly. I wouldn't spend a penny on upgrading to different Fuchs or Fuchs replicas. I know, I know, I'm crazy.

I agree, they are not very attractive wheels, IMHO.
Strong but ugly.

I think smaller, skinny Fuchs can look goofy but the wider rims with the deep dish look 'the business' IMO.

Will the 17s fit on my narrow bodied car??

Just kidding.

Yes, get a 7x15 R replica wheel and I'm THERE!

There will never be a 7 X 15 R replica wheel. It's a global conspiracy to keep their prices outrageously high.

Sign me up for a pair as long as they are priced at a reasonable amount over cost and not at a discount to the originals.

Love to see 8" and 9"s with an off set that would make the usable on a SC. I buy a set of forged 17s in those sizes in a heat beat and for a competitive price with all the better wheels available.

And none of them are cheap!

Until someone or company wants to put up some capital to get some forging equipment to punch out some quality wheels. It sounds or appears here like there is this huge untapped market. I know of some huge manufacturing buildings left behind by a once large aerospace company that some company can occupy for such a purpose.
