Russ Posted 16June, 2014 Report Share Posted 16June, 2014 looks like he runs a few lights in the video, apart from the time he turns right and does a u turn over an unbroken centreline. nice wheels tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 16June, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 16June, 2014 I think they look sublime. Not sure if I'd pay the 'Walker Tax' as I'm certain they wont be cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 16June, 2014 Report Share Posted 16June, 2014 I think they look sublime. Not sure if I'd pay the 'Walker Tax' as I'm certain they wont be cheap! Well the shape is forged even if the wheels aren't . I'm sure you can get a wheel window sticker to go with your Ureteric Orifice belt buckle Edit : the wheels are apparently 2 piece forged so they will be $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 doesn't he say something similar to 'having the freedom to do whatever you want with a new design' and then makes something that looks very like a fuch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 So you guys are saying he didn't reinvent the wheel. BOOM-TISH! Thank you,thank you I'll be here all week. Try the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 FWIW, I don't mind them but I don't mind Fuch's either. They are kind of 70's group 4ish like the PAG's on the Blue turbo of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murf Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 I thought he said they were creating something totally unique? It's just a billeted Fuchs rim. I find Magnus boring. Lets just say if Magnus swapped the porsches for GTR's or Mini's would we care? He'd just be a car geek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 17June, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 doesn't he say something similar to 'having the freedom to do whatever you want with a new design' and then makes something that looks very like a fuch? True, but I see this as being the point. Fuch's are a classic Porsche wheel and look great, he has created a modern interpretation that is recognisable yet subtle with its own unique detail IMO.

Peter M Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 Did anyone find pleasure in the sound of an engine operating a wide ratio box where it actually takes some time for the revs to build? A pretty rare sound nowadays when everything seems to have 6 speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatSix Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 To me the wheels look like a hybrid of Fuch and Teledial wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 Lets just say if Magnus swapped the porsches for GTR's or Mini's would we care? He'd just be a car geek! I guess some of us would answer yes..if we liked those cars True, but I see this as being the point. Fuch's are a classic Porsche wheel and look great, he has created a modern interpretation that is recognisable yet subtle with its own unique detail IMO. i like em wouldnt buy em, and it is while riffing on an old theme, a new wheel. though the colour changes the wheel significantly the gold been a fave Did anyone find pleasure in the sound of an engine operating a wide ratio box where it actually takes some time for the revs to build?

SteveT Posted 17June, 2014 Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 At close enough to US$1,000 each, plus freight, I don't think I will be spoiling the Targa with them any time soon. And, to me, they don't look that much different to Fuchs. If I upgrade or get track wheels Super Lites are $2,000 for a full set WITH tyres and no freight. And look great.

hugh Posted 17June, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 17June, 2014 Worth noting that decent set of original Fuch's will set you back $3k + or more if you want 9's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
