Didn't 71 T comes with Fuchs Wheel? See pictures
Looks like a nice car, but I would think that 71 came stock with Fuch wheels? Michael |

My '70 T came with chrome steel wheels...like many others, I added Fuchs later. I'm thinking it was the same in '71, but wouldn't swear to it.

i have a 1974 Porsche brochue that shows the 911 with steel wheels, so i am guessing that they were the standard wheel up to at least 1974. they are a strange sight on the large bumper car!!max

That car does look very nice. I can't imagine it has only 21k miles, though. The owner's not too far from me. If the weather ever clears up, I think I'll take a look at it.

I think Fuchs may have only been stock in '89. I believe the stock wheels were originally the chrome/steel wheels in that pic, and then cookie cutters, and then telephone dials. I know they were optional in '88, but it seems that for 1 year they might have been standard.

steve, i thought that the cookie cutter wheels replaced the steel wheels as the standard wheel, but the brochure above shows both.....so there was obviously some overlap. interesting

'69-'71
Steel wheels available painted silver or optionally chrome plated and only in 5-1/2" width. Chrome wheel optional on all models. 6"x15" alloy (Fuchs) standard on 911S models, with a 5-1/2" x 14" alloy found on 911E models Optional on the 911T was a cast magnesium wheel with 5-1/2" x 15" dimensions. This ten spoke wheel was actually the lightest wheel that had ever been fitted to a production model. The 5-1/2" x 14" wheel were fitted to 911T's with the optional hydro-pneumatic front suspension. By 1971, 911T's were fitted with any of the alloy wheel options. For '72 & '73 the chrome steel wheel was deleted. |
