Picture of the Month #45

After what can only be described as a brutal winter for denizens of the east coast, Jumble39's
2009 Arctic Silver over Stone Grey CS gets it's first taste of North Carolina spring. He traded-in
a 2002 Carrera in December of '09, when he took a dealer up on an offer he couldn't refuse.

I agree, all the 10 spoke wheels look the best to me.

Agree. When I ordered the BLue Streak back in 2011 , I looked for easy to clean wheels. I had had the lobster fork 19 inch wheels on my 2006 CS and I spent as much time cleaning the wheels and I did the rest of the outside of the car. Those wheels had lots of nooks to collect brake dust.


But I still like the original Fuch 911 wheels the very best. Certainly not the lightest but iconic. IMHO.

The Fuchs wheels are what got me interested in Porsche as a young lad in the early 70's. I should be getting my refurbished Fuchs back from Weidman's Wheels this week! Went RS style on them, putting on my 944 (blasphemy I know).

Re: Picture of the Month #45
The Original style forged Fuchs rims were very strong and very light compared to any other OEM wheels. They may not be as light as some pure racing wheel. But being that they had to be a warranty type of item from the factory. They were very well done. Plus they looked good.
