Where did you get those, through Porsche Classic?

I have on order a pair of 8 x 16 from Andrei at Fuchsfelge USA
Should be here towards the end of the month.
Looking forward to some real NEW Fuchs. Thinking if running a pair of NOS 951 7" x 16" since I have them sitting here. I am under the impression that they will work on my SC . I will have the option to upgrade to turbo brakes ( if only!) So: Old in front New in back, I can compare the pedal-styles all the time!


Edit: ..and you can buy them right here from Pelican, didn't realize earlier...

Very limited production from Porsche classic. The only issue I’ve had and so would everyone else try to match the old Fuchs is that the anodizing process is a slightly different variation from the old process. It’s confirmed after discussions with the great Harvey Weidman.

Would be interesting to see side by side comparos of the same size wheels from Fuchsfelge and Porsche Classic.

Had I known, I woulda inquired with the Fuchsfelge guys on hand at Pelican open house last week as to any differences.

The anodized finish is the same between the two wheels. If you have an older Fuchs in great condition or they’ve been refinished by Harvey Weidman (which uses the old Porsche variations of anodizing) the finishes wont match.

Now as far as wheel pedal variations my Porsche Classic Fuchs match perfectly with the older Fuchs. Not sure about fuchsfelge.
