What size of tires? |
not my car - bought used. fast replikas. 18” x 8.5” and 10” with good offsets. $250 cdn each new! heavy (24 lbs per) but for the street so care more about ‘retro coolness’; have some light oz’s for the track.

Those really look Great!!!!
|
Looks awesome and good price! I wish they come in 17"... Fuchs are on my list.
|
$170 per wheel at this site:

Looking forward to the cool kid on the street pix! :cool:

Exactly what I wanted to suggest...matt silver greyish finish! I asked my paint shop a while ago...they said it would be extremely difficult to just paint the inner ring, what my idea was for mine. Or I was just thinking, how would they look in a slight "gun metallic gold" look like the GT2 RS on your silver Boxster. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1518130028.jpg Of course the inner parts need to be blackend, no doubt. :cheers: |
i really really really really thought about gold, but gf talked me out of it. thing is, with plasti-dip, i can just peel and redo.

These looks awesome, I have always been a lover of the Fuchs look. Please post a pic when they are mounted. What offset are they?
|
49 front, 50 rear, which is good as-is. i have 7 and 15 mm spacers however, so am going to put the 15's on the front for 34, and the 7's on the back for 43. plan is 235 on the front and 265 on the rear, so should fill out nicely (my track wheels are 245 w et 38 on the front and 275 w et 40 on the rear and fit is fine).
|
Awsome. Me like a lot
|
+1 looks very nice!
|
Fuchs all the way! Especially with a little deep dish lip going on! Those old school RSR super deep wheels are just freakin' sweet!
|
I am pretty sure that RPM wheel is a 18" Fuchsfelge painted in gold...awesome on a red car
:cheers: Here a quick visualization with a more subtle "GT3 RS-like" gold tone http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1518175281.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1518180352.jpg |
Very nice! Cant wait to see finished product!

well, got them back and got what i paid for (two cans of plasti-dip and some pizzas). looks like the kids had a hard time taping an even line, and the paint pulled up quite rough when they removed it. live and learn. also don't like how the tops of the 'petals' came out - too squared off and not as rounded as the original fuchs.
so, back to square one. going to get them refinished professionally. the wheels do look good against the car, so may stay with the black, however gold is back on the table. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1518725939.jpg |
