Indeed, but they make the cars ride absolutely perfectly on our potholed/poorly maintained roads.
I'd have take your word on that one, however I didn't choose my car for ride quality, in fact that was the last consideration, styling came first. I dought you'd disagree?[quote=Slippydiff]
I think Fuchs on a 964 is a "fad", maybe driven by Singer and the availability of genuine Fuchs wheels now being available in 964 sizes/offsets.
It seams Rob Singer spent the best part of a decade designing/crafting/eliminating in order to get to a definitive solution, i'm pretty confident Fuchs are not a "fad" on a 964. However if you can give a compelling argument for why they're a fad i'll be happy to listen.
IMO Cup 1 are vanilla and a safe choice.

Shall we just agree to differ on this ? You seem hellbent on arguing for the sake of it. This when I've already said, fit Fuchs, don't fit Fuchs, I really don't give a Fuch.
Had Rob Dickinson not fitted them to the Singer, I'm doubtful the many manufacturers who've jumped on the bandwagon would've felt compelled to do so.
I suggest you take a long look at what Rob has done to the Singer chassis to make the wheels and their offsets work. For the record, I have no issue with the Fuchs replicas on the Singer, they're stunning, but they're stunning because of the massive offset and the relationship between the wheels/tyres to the wheelarches.
If you think these cars look good on the Fuchs, great :
Why you want/need me to justify my assertion they're a passing fad is beyond me ? If you like them and want them on your car, fit the Fuching things.
You asked for opinions in your opening post, if you're that concerned about someone's opinion that opposes yours, don't ask for it !
You're new on here, I get that, and this probably isn't quite the welcome you expected, if that's the case.
I am new on here and I dought you'll ever see me comment on anything mechanical or technical but on design related issues I'll have my say. On the issue of offset, I suspect this was determined by geographical and cultural factors of being based in LA where greater offset seams to be the norm. Had Singer been based in the UK this would have been less.Had Rob Dickinson not fitted them to the Singer, I'm doubtful the many manufacturers who've jumped on the bandwagon would've felt compelled to do so.

What is you're choice OP? Posters have offered up suggestions to which you have said D90's are too small, Cup 1 are vanilla...and you have taken great exception to the outrageous suggestion that Fuchs may be a fad....
NO I took exception to the the mention of Singer popularising a Fad which is just wrong. 10 years of effort with a small fortune spent on design and development to be related to a Fad/trend. TBH I found that a a lazy cheap shot.
