Dude, Where are my Fuchs!!!
 
Here is a pic from one of our P-car groupies. Apparently someone took his fuchs last week. I bought a set of new locks this past weekend.

That rots!

BS.

BS?

I hope a pelican isn't using milk crates to support his own car.

What the Fuch?
Damn, they must know the value of those things. I can't see any proper p-car owner taking another man's Fuchs.....
Besides, they were prob only 16s, tiny on a stolen Escalade...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
I had someone snag THREE of my new wheels off my 924 back in the day.
At least he didn't get a usable set!

I think the Fuchs also fit the VW bugs (older). I wouldn't support my car with milk crates either.

It was some one the know the value of the fuchs. Any VW bug with fuchs around the neighborhood is suspect.

ACK! Not here in the valley!?!?!?


ACK!:p

At least he got a matched set of milk crates, and it appears they took great care to line them up "just so".

Damn!

Fuchs don't fit VWs unless they use adapters or redrill the rotors, hubs and/or the drums. Old VWs share the 356 wide five pattern, the 68 and up bugs use the 4x130 which is the 914 pattern.....the VW busses have a Mercedes pattern which escapes me at the moment....

I'm afraid so.

East Sacramento around Mckinley Park.

damn...that sux. and the car was parked all up along the window and everything!

I didnt think your car could be stolen or jacked with if you parked up next to a window ;)

it really does suck to have anything stolen...

Start watching Craigslist Sacramento! Either for the Fuchs or for the wheels they likely replaced...Cookies.....Phonedials.....

aigel 05-09-2007 06:19 PM

Were they 7 and 8 or 7 an 9? Everyone knows that they fetch a good buck. If they were 6 and 7, then I would say there is more to the story - maybe someone the car owner knows wanted to get even. A garage is a really good idea, not just to keep the rain off your car ...

Dan, that's a very clever idea!

+1. comb all classified listings.

Granite 05-09-2007 07:56 PM

I call BS on the stolen Fuchs! Smells fishy! But I hope the Milk Crates have matching numbers.

onlycafe 05-09-2007 10:13 PM

are you sure ashton and the punk'd crew weren't in on this. or maybe overhaulin' sent his wheels out to al reed for refinishing.
