    Are we talking pressure cast or forged ?…… are we talking relatively the same weight and strength ?

    Cast Fuch-like repops have been around forever… just not in cool sizes or finishes

    Hi,

    As I am sure you know fuch now make new 15 x 8 and 15 x 9. I have been emailing them/Porsche RE making some new 11s. Regarding 7Rs we are working on something pretty cool at the moment to make them from an original forged unit. If you can forge a deep 6 that would be good as supply for them in recent years has really diminished.

    Thanks

    Alan

    For myself. I'd still prefer a Fuchs forged. Cast wheels are just too heavy.

    Just think you won't find too much interest in cast Fuchs replicas here.
    Most will hold out and save their pennies to get the real thing.

    Are you going to make 15" tires too? They are getting harder and harder to find also

    I would take these replica Fuchs over heavy cast wheels any day. Even with the funny lip. Low weight. http://www.braidusa.com/fuchs.htm (And it is possible for custom offsets)
