Real Fuchs used to be reasonably priced.  Being truly forged they are very light and strong.  A 16x7 wheel is only 15 #. Even the mounting bolts are aluminum for weight savings. Plus there weren't many repro's 20 years ago.  Now even EMPI makes a faux Fuchs!  Suspect all the faux ones are heavier weight and weaker strength cast vs forged.  Otto did a great job on the wheels.  Years ago (1969) I had a '65 build 911S - I replaced the chrome wheels with 4.5"x15" Fuchs - turns out they are very rare now (I paid $400 for them with alloy nuts). Should have kept car but need a house down payment when I moved to DC area.
