I was just looking at pics of these wheels this morning. Love to have them just can't afford them. Awesome looking on your car.

Great looking wheels. I love the red seat belts, accents well with the calipers.

Very nice.
Nearly worth the wait.
Too bad I've bought a house and made nearly 2 years of mortgage payments since they rumored them.

Nevertheless, tempting.

The design is something they have been working on for a very long time--to get that significant deep dish look, yet still have the room for the rear brakes. Looks great. I hope to follow suit.

Dan, IMO, that ^ would be a big mistake. You already have the best looking wheels Porsche has ever offered.

Visually, the Fuchs (and Fuchs style) wheels appear too small for the car. I think it is because the spokes are too wide, which gives the illusion they are short. Hence, they appear to be a smaller diameter than they actually are.
