Caution - they offer 17" and bigger as you wrote named as "Retro Fuchsfelge", but they also started to produce smaller rims with a size of 15&16 as the original Fuchs wheels. They call them "Fuchs evolution" or "Exclusive forged wheel": https://www.fuchsfelge.com/en/wheel-program/detail/porsche-911-exclusive-forged-wheel-383.html
The bigger rims are a new version of the old design for 964 and following cars. In 2019 Fuchs then introduced the "Fuchsfelge Evolution" for earlier F-/G-Body (Longnose and impact bumper) cars as well. This is the old Fuchs design produced with new technologies to save more weight.
Because of a new manufacturing process - the smallest tire you can drive at the front axle is now a 225 on a 7J 16" on a G body car ... (The only street legal way in Germany for those new Fuchs Evolution rims, because the load breaking tests were done with that tire dimensions only! I do not know if street regulations apply on this in other countries...)
