Wheels
Any safe wheel, except aftermarket cast imitation Fuchs alloys, are acceptable. Carefully check older wheels for cracking at the lug seat. Insure valve stem brace is installed, if applicable. Check that valves & valve stems are secure. We recommend Porsche original hardware. Under no condition should a repaired alloy wheel be used!

Really? That's amazing. You need to move.
I can understand the need to check old Fuchs wheels. Those buggers are starting to fall apart but WTF have they got against "cast imitation Fuchs alloys". That's just going to make people run 30 year old crack-riddled Fuchs longer than they perhaps is wise.
Not to go all self promoting here but our Fuchs replicas were designed to TUV standards for historic rally use in Europe and have been extremely successful in that and other facets of motorsport for years now. Good enough for racing, good enough for DE.
And "We recommend Porsche original hardware" just sounds snooty too.
