I'm looking for an additional set of track wheels/tires for the 914/6 2.7.
We are currently running: Fuchs replica 16 x 7 - 225/50/16 A008RsII Fuchs replica 16 x 8 - 245/45/16 A008RsII What are my options? original Fuchs seem to be $$$$ |

If you "need" the 9's in back then your options are pretty limited (Fuchs or aftermarket). Prices on 16x7 Fuchs are still not too bad (relatively speaking) but the 8's and 9's are getting up there. However, they're still cheaper, and probably better, than most of the bigger-name aftermarket wheels. Quality forged race wheels can run $500/ea on up, from what I've seen.

If you could live with 15x7's I agree with the other guys that Cookie Cutters are the "sleeper" value of the moment. I have a set of those, and two sets of 16x7 Fuchs. A whole set of cookies is only worth 1 - 1.5 Fuchs, yet they work and look plenty fine in my experience. |
