Fuchs, real or not: how can you tell?

Shaun @ Tru6 · 09-01-2003, 03:37 PM

impulse buy a year ago I picked up a pair of wheels off the classifieds board advertised as Fuchs.

I want to sell them now, but after snapping some pics, am worried that they may not be real Fuchs, for no other reason than it doesn't say Fuchs anywhere, and definitely don't want to misrepresent them.

Part # on the back: 911.361.020 and below it AS10.62

How can you tell if they are real or replicas? A little late now, I know. Enter this one in the "stupid move" thread if they are fake.

Do a search on Fuchs Fox. There have been several posts on how to ID real ones.

Something comes to mind about real vs. fake. I think the fake ones don't have any part #'s on them and the real one's do. It could be all BS though. Someone else would know for sure.

thanks, these are definitely real, especially after going throught this thread:

16x6 Fuchs Variations?

Odd though that the last 2 digits (42 for 8x15s) aren't stamped, it's blank with a small raised square to carry the specific stamping.

These are from ones I sold. Look familiar?

Shaun @ Tru6 · 09-01-2003, 05:48 PM

yes, except my area here is not stamped. They are 8x15s, and measure inside lip to inside lip as such. They were sold as factory new and by all accounts look it.

If there is a 911 part number, Id assume they are factory wheels.

Many also have a 'fox' emblem inside.
