JPO Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hi, I'm looking for some 16x7 16x8 Fuchs or 17x7 17x9 Fuchs replicas (sadly I prefer 17s simply due to tire availability). Cheers. John Quote Link to comment
Rick Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Hello John You may want to check out Design 911 in the UK. They carry replica Fuchs in both 16" & 17" diameters ... numerous widths for both. Their deliveries are outstanding, however you might swallow hard at the currency exchange just now. I purchased a set of 9j16 (rears) for my 87 3.2 Carrera and put brand new Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 rubber (from Tire Rack in the USA). These are now being produced to satisfy the pent up demand for retro Porsche projects using Fuchs wheels! See further details on our Tech forum under "911 3.2 Front strut & turbo tie rod end upgrade." (3rd page) cheers. Barnsey! Edited April 20, 2014 by Rick Quote Link to comment
Glenn Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Here is another option: http://www.originalwheels.com/porsche-wheels/ While I have not purchased anything from them yet, their prices do not look too bad. I find the hard part is imagining what they will look like on my car ... before I pull the pin and order. Time to photoshop Cheers Glenn Quote Link to comment

Time to photoshop Cheers Glenn The link below is my base case right now and depending on how my search pans out over the next month or so I'll likely end up ordering them. http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/911M/POR_911M_MISCLL_pg24.htm#item107 $1000 give or take a hundred or so for 17x7 and 17x9 Fuchs replicas. 17" size has many tire options.

billybek Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 One last bump before I click buy at Pelican. Gracias. I saw a nice set of 7 & 8s today. They may be available (not the set of 8s that I bought from Rick by the way.) If you would like me to check on their availability for you let me know. Quote Link to comment

billybek Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Nice! Post a pic with them on the car. With the weather we are having, no one other than you and your family is going to see them for a while. Cheers, Quote Link to comment
