Well the search for original 951 Fuchs for now has been pretty unsuccessful so I am turni9ng my attention to the replicas available.

Does anyone run these or have any experiences?

Best company supplying quality wheels?

Weight difference from original?

Any 0ther additions welcome.

Fronts look fine (ET 23) but the ET is 10.5 on the 8s (rears) so will I need spacers?

To the best of my knowledge there are no sets of Fuchs reps suitable for a 944, we'll certainly not for late offset, you will find plenty for early 911.

Having looked myself at all options the only viable route is the genuine re manufactured forged Fuchs in 17", the 8" ET55 and 9" ET55

These come at a price.....a big one [:D]

Cheers, Paul

Sorry I should have said it is for an early offset car 1986.
 
It's for a 1986 Turbo and the replica wheels, along with most genuine forged Fuchs wheels, will not fit over a Turbo's brakes.

For added clarity: they will not fit.

Noted, that's the end of that then!

That's why the 911 boys buy up the 951 Fuchs to fit over their front brake upgrades

Could look at some Fifteen52 Outlaws? Here's a photoshop on a CGT rep. Keep an eye on Magnus Walkers CGT as he's likely to fit a set soon in 16 or 17". Trial fit of 15's didn't look right.

I followed the thead until those wheels were on his 930 and uploaded his video. I had a 964 at the time and I looked at prices. Spoke directly to them and they are dam expensive.
