[JK930]

hi all

have a quick question

i have (1) 9 x 16
and (2) 7 x 16

NEED TO PURCHASE (1) 9X16 TO COMPLETE MY SET

can't seem to find 1 rim at at fair price so i may go with a aftermarket
ie. euromiester,maxilite other

from experience which manufacture would looked perform like a factory FUCH rim

thank you

You need to buy a matching Fuch 9x16. The other manufacturers wheels won’t look the same. Or sell your three and buy a matching set.

I would keep shopping for a real wheel. The replicas will not be a good match. The Euromeisters have fine ridges machined into the lip. I would find someone local with a set soyou can see them in person. Additionally you will always have that nagging feeling that one of your wheels is a replica.

The swap meet in PA is happening on the 20th of April, I suggest taking a ride out there on that day. You may find what you are looking for. Porsche-Only Swap Meet: Central PA Region PCA

So you're shy 1 wheel for the set you need and it sounds like you need the set in the near future, and you're quibbling over the word "fair" ??? Maybe what you think is a "fair" price, is not where the market is right now? If you need one and you don't find it at Hershey, maybe pay up for it and be done?

Another idea... maybe sell the lone 9” to fund a pair of 8s. Cosmetically they are identicle with extra inch on the inside and outside lips are the same...

then i will have to get the other 3 refinish to match the new one

this! -- VERY few options remain in the 245/45-16 tire size required by the 16x9 fuchs -- the 16x8 can run both 245/45-16 and 225/50-16 tires (with many more options available in the latter)
