Fuchs Date Stamp ?????

[djdsc]

OK, I know the 911.362.020.10 is the part number but which of the other numbers is the date stamp?

Actually what do all the other numbers mean?

Thanks

The date stamp is a rubber stamp with ink that is easily obliterated.
The Fox head is "Fuchs" in German.

The "AS1.62" is the alloy used. See below:

A: We used 6082(USA), 3.2315(DIN), AlMgSi1(Type) or FUCHS Designation AS10.62,
.62 indicates Temper Disignation.

Wow, now there is some technical information!!

Thanks a bunch.

So when folks talk of their date stamped Fuchs, they are just lucky enough to still have the ink stamp still present and not worn off?

Yes, lucky. Particularly for the wheel of a car.

My 14" fuchs on the 69 are punched stamped 3 68 near the hub on the inside

Here's where the date code is stamped on most Fuchs wheels :

Just look at the above pic. The date is stamped into the spoke center. It is a stamp and does not rub off.

Easy to find now that I know where to look.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I was curious about some wheels I recently acquired. Using the above stamping location, the numbers I have appear to be 7267. I will say that the first and last 7 are oddly shaped and deeply stamped, while the 2 & 6 appear to be normal in shape yet not as deeply stamped.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
HB

I have a set of Fuchs which all have the same stamps:

"4 1/2J x 15"
"fox stamp"
25205.3
901.361.012.01

I can not find a date stamped or any other stamping anywhere. Is it safe to assume the date was originally in ink? Do these wheels have serial numbers?

Is the Offset printed anywhere?
