Question Help me decide - Rotiform FUC

Currently I have OEM 16x8 and 16x9" FUCHs with factory spacers on my 86'. They are in good condition, but they need to be refinished so was thinking about getting a new set of Rotiforms http://www.rotiform.com/fuc-w-24777.htm instead. I would never sell the FUCHs and eventually restore. So...

Tough decision and looking for some other input on these wheels. Dare I go all murdered out? Thoughts?

Also thinking about going larger to 17x8 and 17x10 or and I asking for trouble? I have stock suspension and thinking doing coils right away. I don't track, more of a show and go guy.





Thanks Pelicans! Checkout more about the car at Wide 911 | 1986 Porsche Carrera 3.2L Turbo Look

I like the black ones personally. Plus I think the concave shape of those wheels gives it a 'meaner' stance.

I like the first picture, really sets off the pedals nicely & deepness, which BTW is it me or are the fronts deeper than rears in that picture?

Factory 8s and 9s have actual value. Expensive wheels will not in 10 years.

Having said that, get what makes you happy. Those are hot wheels.
