Suggestion

They look fantastic on a 997, but I think it's because 997's were designed for taller tires, so they fill the wheel wells much more.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you are like me you always wondered what a set of Fuchs would look like on the 996. The new Sport Classic 997 has them, but those factory wheels are only for wide-body cars. But now these wheels, from a new company in SoCal that apparently has acquired the Fuchs trademark, look simply stunning. The Ruby Red in the Wheel Configurator is really close to Orient, and the 996 shape is nearly the same as the 997. A set of 19" FP.1 with polished lips and black spokes and centers just shot to the top of my Christmas list. Emailed them for prices and weights. http://fuchsperformance.com/

POST 2Original post

called 19" sport classic wheels - sort of retro fuchs

POST 3Original post

I don't like the Sport Classics. Even though they are 19" wheels, visually they look undersized to me.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I don't believe the Sport Classic wheels fit the 996. And based on the price of the Sport Classic, they must be about $15,000 per wheel.

POST 6Original post

Killer!!!!! I found 3 color combos that are amazing. I'd rather keep 18's on my car tho. Gotta check if they r available in 18"!!!! Oh NO!!! They ARE available in 18"! May have to take the plunge! Gonna send an inquiry for a price!

That's what she said!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The configurator Flash image seems a bit undersized - and not helped by the black tire and wheel well merge. In the gallery image they look fine.

POST 10Original post

undersized...overpriced, but they are growing on me. Had Fuchs on my '79 SC and loved the look.

POST 11Original post

$5600!!?? WOW! They're pretty damn cool, but that's alota bananas!

POST 12Original post

Don't like the "old school" look on a modern car...much better choices out there for the money....

POST 13Original post

I love the wheels. but I feel like the Sport Classic was only released because of the Singer 911 which is beautiful and I hope they do get made. http://www.singervehicledesign.com/ WOW!.

POST 15Original post

That's what I'm talking about!!! Give me some deep dish on the front wheels too! The one thing I don't like about the "new" Fuchs.

POST 16Original post

I agree bout the deeper dish in front. Too many wheels looking like FWD offset, these new Fuchs included!!

Rob, what wheels are those on your car? They look perfect.

POST 18Original post

The 19" Fuchs wheels just don't look right on a 996. They look fantastic on a 997, but I think it's because 997's were designed for taller tires, so they fill the wheel wells much more.

POST 19Original post

Quotes source post: 7932466

OK, I walked right into that one!

POST 20Original post

Thinking about a new set of wheels for my '02 996tt. Has anybody put on a set of 19" Fuchs FP.1 forged wheels, from Fuchs Performance Group, on their 996?

POST 21Original post

$5600? you are in premium BBS and HRE territory. Fuchs looked great on the old 911s but the dated design wont look good on a 996 in my opinion.

POST 22Original post

I never liked those rims. I can't see anything appealing about them. They are old school and the spokes are hideous.
