Don't do it ernie... There is something about a wide dish Fuch that looks awesome (think 9x16) that the "late offset" wheels just can't accomodate.

Hope this helps for the other wheels!
Also color corrected the image, was a little on the blue/cyan side.



BTW, who makes the first type of Fuchs?

Glad I could help!

Yea the Sport Classic "Fuchs" (are they even made by Fuchs?) or whatever they're called are way overpriced. The CIP1 wheels, do they have a website?

Also, thats a nice lookin 968 you have there, Fuchs or not! What color is it? Hard to tell. Amazon Green? Midnight Blue?

Cheers!

For the wheels just google (CIP1 fuchs wheels).My 968 color is Amazone Pearl Green & very difficult to get the rigth color since it does change depending on ligth available.Btw there is no way I'll I will change my wheels,was just curious how Fuchs will look on it.The reason I ask for a photoshop is that we never seen Fuchs on a 968 & you were of great help believe me.Sending you some pics of my car in different ligth situation (Shade & Sunny) also of interior & engine bay.Once more thanks.

Beautiful color combo. That green is really a nice color for this shape I think. Interior really gives a great contrast. I'm not one for interiors of bright shades like that, but in this example it turns out nice with the green. One of the best combos on a 968 I've seen. Any more pictures of the interior? Curious what the whole interior looks like in that color!

Any other wheels you want to 'digitally' put on the car?

CIP1.com is a GREAT company. It's like the Pelican Parts of air cooled VW parts.

Ernie, like always, your car looks good!

Like that interior Ernie! Was that a standard/option color, or special ordered?

Like the steering wheel too. Is that a 930S or 968CS wheel? Or are they one in the same?

And I notice the hat in the backseat camouflages nicely.

It is a standard option color but one you don't it see very often.The seat are option heated seats.The steering wheel is a genuine 968 CS which was available only in Europe & an option on the UK 968 Sport model.If you look at the 930 replacement wheel it does look exactly the same.Lol the cap is a gift from a friend which I wear only in special occasion.Last year he bougth himself a 90-928 S4 imported from Japan (available here but not in the US) the car his a low mileages one & he paid $13.5k for it plus $785.00 for a PPI & to bring it up to date maintenance wise & peace of mind.I had the chance to take it out for a spin & a spirit drive. Lol can that thing ever move when you get it angry & was very surprise at the road holding,they do feel heavier through the curves compare to a 944/951/968 but believe me they can hold their own.Sending you pics of the beast.

Yes C2 turbo aka CupI will look good on your black cab.You could either go with 7X17" front & 8X17" rear or 8" front 9.5 rear. With tires 225-45 ZR 17 frt and 255-40 ZR rr which is a very popular combo among the late 944 NA/951/S2/968 crowd.Since those wheels are pretty expensive OEM & don't come up used very often, there is nothing wrong running a good quality re-pro which are lot cheaper.On a street car you'll never notice the difference in between the two.
