Yeah fuchs wheels rule. In this picture I have 15X6 replicas with 195/50 and real 15X7 with 205/50 in the rear. I have a set of real 15X8 that I am refinishing. I have one wheel done, that silver paint is impossible to remove.
So I am going to put the 195/50's on the 15X7 and the 205/50's on the 15X8. It should look way better and I can get rid of those heavy cast fake fuchs. And I hope it will handle better and be more responsive.

How much do the real and fake wheels weigh. What's the weight difference??? I have a set of 18" turbo twists and they weigh about 200 lbs. with tires.
