Got my Sport Classic Fuchs rims!!!

I've been wanting a set of the Fuchs style rims ever since they graced the 911 Sport Classic.

Three years later, I finally bit the bullet and got 'em!

Thanks! Us Cocoa leather lovers must think a like.

I went with the OEM Sport Classics. I was debating on whether to go OEM Porsche or get the real Otto Fuchs wheels http://www.fuchsfelge.de/?id=268&L=1. But I always liked the way the 911 Sport Classics looked the best. Plus I needed new tires, so I got the rim & tire set with Michelin PS2's.

I have a chance to buy a brand new OEM set with brand new Pilots for $4,900 (no shipping)- do you think that's a good deal?
Also, a bit afraid of looking like a speedster clone.... What do you guys think? I may also add the the black stone shield just forward of the rear wheels instead of the clear I currently have....

Not to mention we have the exact same license plate frames

Those wheels look so good on your car! Glad to see a live example on a C2S!

That's a great price for a new set with new tires! I love the Speedster, I'd say go for it.

Thanks.

My license frames are the real carbon fiber ones. I've got "PORSCHE" on the front and "911" on the back.

Love those wheels, I have a black 997 C2S also, and those are what I want for my car. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I really want a set of the American made fuchs... Those things rule with the two town brushed and black.
