As to the Fuch wheels, you want the 16" Fuch's, not 15"ers. The 16's are lightweight and forged, the 15's are not.

Fuchs copies are generally cast. That in itself is not usually a bad thing, even though some people jump up and down when they hear "Fuchs copy" and start stating that they are more prone to cracking/breaking. Some regions have even bought into that wives tale and ruled that the copies cannot be used for DE and driving competitions. Truthfully, many cars have cast wheels and have no problems. One should be inspecting their wheels periodically anyway. If someone has a catastophic wheel failure for no reason (ie: didn't hit a curb or wall/rail/pothole), then they weren't inspecting their wheels. I mean, even the newest factory supplied Fuch is 16 years old now (I believe the last year they were offered on a 911 was 1989). Personally, I think it is a good idea to periodically inspect ANY aluminum wheel that is that old......
