Pics of 17 inch 3 piece forged fuch...
 
At moderator's request, I started a new thread with the latest pics of production.

The wheel shown here is a 7.5 front...... the center is ready for finishing.

Sweet, did you see anything on my list that you liked???

Wow! These are going to be so so sick.

Jeff, is powdercoating of center and rims available? I've never seen it done on a Fuchs before but it looks great on my RUF wheels (but I'd rather have Fuchs look).

Yes, the standard center is powder coated! We can powder coat the outer rim shell as well, or anodize.

cheers

From Jeff's first post on this thread:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=441069

RSR finish (media blasted then clear anodized outer wheel shell and wheel spoke petals/black petal background) is available for an additional $100/wheel.

I am literally drooling seeing that they're so close. I can't wait to hear the truck pull up in front of my house with 4 boxes from Canada. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/nuts.gif

Ditto, but only after the truck has left my house. ;)

MrPerkles 01-28-2009 10:37 AM

well done Jeff they look superb,attention to detail is spot on.Be great to see with tyres fitted and on the floor

fredmeister 01-28-2009 11:19 AM

Thanks for having the cajones to take on such a big job.
Your work looks first class......I wonder if Porsche is paying attention......now if I only had the money for a nice set for my turbo.
Keep posting some pix of various paint and finishing schemes for reference.
Are you planning on having a website set up for your products?

911st 01-28-2009 12:54 PM

Jeff,

So nice!

You have spent a lot of time fitting wheels to your Carrera fender car.

What tire set ups do you think would work with pros and cons.

What are you going to run?

What do you think about 235/45/17's on 8's in front and 255/40/17's on 9's in the back. Diameters are about 24.5 and 25".

Thx.
