I don't know about you guys but being in the casting business I am rarely impressed when I see a product made as much as I have been buy the videos of Fuchs alloys being made. They are IMO a work of art and probably one of the sturdiest and strongest wheels I have seen. Their process vs most others I have seen made is far ahead and worth paying for vs many of the replicas I see which are more machined than forged. I am assuming people don't realize that Fuchs is manufacturing these again and want the real deal vs a copy. Although i have no idea how they can sell them so cheap considering the work involved.
Rare wheels can cost a fortune. The speedlines on my 3.6T used to sell all day long for $4150 a set today good luck buying new for under $10k and I have seen people pay more for period correct date stamped wheels in perfect condition.
I have this set of 964 3.8 RSR speedlines 9 1/2 and 11" sizes that I have only seen another set sell. They went for 25k euro needing refinishing. Today I hear they can bring more to the right buyer. Same with cup I's. years ago I couldn't get rid of a set for more than $800 with tires, today I can sell a set for $3500 and have sold some sizes for over $4500 a set refinished.
