Swimming upstream here: I'm not a fan.

 

Burn me at the stake. There are many, many, many small pattern Porsche 5 drilled wheels that look better (and less like "flower-power" new-Beetle wheels), IMHO.

 

The knock-offs are cool. 944 spares are very cool. Fuchs are well, Fuchs.

 

I'm not a Magnus Walker fan. Not because I'm contrarian, but just because I think about 99% of the R-Gruppe hit 'em out of the park, and Magnus' cars all seem like they are fouling off to left.

Stan,

The pictures don't do the wheel justice.  I've seen them on several cars up close and they have a very sturdy, industrial/racing look to them, nothing beetle/feminine imho.  I agree that some of Magnus's color schemes and signature body mods are a little off-beat.  I have chatted with him on several occasions and he is a very nice, humble guy who is a true "car guy".  He says he is getting into 928s next.

I'll have to take your word for it, Tom. There's a better chance that I'll become a male model than that I'll bump into Magnus down at the FLAPS. I'll never see the wheels in anything other than photographs, unless Magnus starts making them for Mustangs or F150s.

 

They definitely look feminine in every single picture I've looked at.
