Fuch Wheels
Hi. My 85.5 944 euro came with factory platnum metalic
powder coating and are 7x16 and 8x16 now my question is, what is the hype about these? ive had many offers of trades for modern larger wheels that appeal to me much more than fuch wheels but why? what am i missing? are fuches rare? should i keep them rather than trade for the ( in my opinion) better looking wheels?

Fuchs are forged, and are among the strongest, yet lightest wheels ever.
Feel free to make the car what you want, but check going prices before you decide to sell. 7 & 8 x 16 is a nice set for both 944's and 911's. Lots of guys looking to upgrade from 15's or the 6 & 7's the 911's came with. Last edited by Dantilla; 02-03-2006 at 10:27 PM.. |

Being forged they are lighter and stronger plus they have that clasic look to them. You need to spend about $4000 for new wheels before you step into the forged teritory.
