Jens, was that sarcasm? I think they really do look nice.
What makes you think I'm being sarcastic? Not at all, I'm quite sincere.
no clues that you are a sarcastic sort. just that I'm sure there is somebody out there who would consider it wrong to apply AR torque thrust wheels to a porsche.
I love them! can they still be acquired in the proper fitment?
sure I just dumped a bunch of $ into getting 7 inch fuchs replicas outfitted to both my early 911.... those look sweet!
These are for the 911 too, RSR fendered ones anyway. 8 1/2 & 10 x 15s. Someone has them over on Pelikan's classifieds. I think with blacked out centers they would look great on a vehicle modified "for sports purposes". ;) ;)
the set-
Way cooool Jens!
And to think those wheels were not probably over $150 each back in the day. I 'll gladly pay $600 for a set.
Are any of these wheels lighter and stronger than the Fuchs?
Are any newer wheels lighter and stronger?
I don't know, but cool has just got to count for something! :cool: :D
I was wondering the same thing, maybe people could weigh the ones they have (?). I know the Mahle Magnesium alloy Stove burners are 9.9 pounds making them the lightest that I know of. But then again they are only 5.5 inches wide. The Fuchs forged wheel are probably hard to beat for strength, but I wonder.
Mahle-
Some wheel weights-

Rick - there's a new post in the parts for sale section for a set of 4 7x15" magnesium Minilites which look exactly like your wheel.
Here's the link:
