    Hi,

    I hope everything is well and I am wishing you also a good start into 2016.

    I have the 7x17 & 8x17 setup for 2 reasons:

    1. the 7x17 & 8x17 are according to Fuchs & German TÜV (Katsastus)
    the only set up for narrow bodied 964 - only wide bodied 964 (Turbo & WTL) can apply 9x17 at the rear without issues
    The 18" wheels were not an option as a Porsche bulletin stated only Turbos & WTL were clear with 18"

    2. I found this new set of wheels on local classified ads for a good price
    I previously had an early 911 with Fuchs & loved the classic look of the car
    but the new Fuchs are different in detail which I did not like - I modified the black paint and achieved a more original look.

    My impression of the wheels are very positive as you can feel the lighter
    unsprung weight compared to the Cup wheels.

    I can send you the document of Fuchs AG / TÜV and a few images of my car with the wheels if you share your personal email.

    Best regards,
    Ernesto

    Hi there,

    I hope my message finds you well and that you have had a good start to the new year.

    Some time ago you replied to my question on the new Fuchs wheels on a 964. Here's a link: https://rennlist.com/forums/964-foru...l#post12451928

    Anyway, I am about to get a set of these wheels, but am struggling a little in which widths I should get. I will go for the 7x17 at the front, but what about the rear? 8x17 or 9x17? Most of the 964 pics I have seen appear to be 9x17s at the rear - with only the two pics I linked to showing a car with 8x17s at the rear.

    But to make the long story short, I think you mentioned that you have 7x17 at the front and 8x17 at the rear? Would you be able to share your thoughts and possible a couple of pictures of your car with these wheels on?

    Your reply would be greatly appreciated and I'd be happy to also share my personal email if you'd like.

    Best regards,
    Teemu
