So, after a far too long sabbatical, we’re finally going ahead with the 17’s.
Final FEA’d design of our new 7.5x17” & 9x17” Campy’s. 7.5 @ 8.23kg & 9 @ 8.97kg, both unpainted. 7.5 front was chosen over an 8, not only for lightness of the wheel itself but also steering weight/feel. These will be available in offsets to suit RS/SC/Carrera/ST/930 etc. Your input is always welcome and greatly appreciated.

The guys with 930s are almost without question going to want 9" fronts and 11" rears

Nice to see these coming forward in 17", more choice and they look amazing.
In which country are these wheels made?

Yep. I’d just stick with stock Fuchs. The only reason to change is for a hot rod look. Stock widths don’t cut it for Turbo or RSR cars.
Lucky Fiske has me covered. If only it didn’t take 5 months the get a set...

Right - I saw that on the site but could not find anything stating where the wheels are made. If it was UK - was thinking that would be clear. British understatement?

We should have a firm price very soon, certainly no more, I'm hoping than our 15's, so around Ł1200 a set.

We are a UK company, however, all our wheels are manufactured at the old Speedline factory in Italy.

A new website will be launched shortly.

Any news on the 9x17 and 10.5x17?

It seems to be taking a while to get these into production...

I would think the offsets would be all wrong for a 993 (or 964).

Typical offsets for the 964/993 are around 50 mm. Typical offsets for the earlier cars is in the upper-teens to twenties.
