How do I identify real Fuchs?
Should there be a stamp on the back saying "Fuch" or and stamp of a Fox? I cant find any identifying marks. I have a set of 4 that im trying to sell and I want to find out if they are the real thing or replicates.
The wheels are in good condition and have a good set of bridgstone tires on them...assuming they are fake how much would be a fair price? Thanks guys. |

Buy them, sell them

Real Fuchs should have the little fox head and the backs of the wheels should be kinda smooth to touch. Plus they'll be very lightweight for their size.
Part numbers should be something like 911.020.361 or similar.

Its kinda hard to tell from the pics. The spokes appear to be anodized the way the factory wheels were. Fakes were never anodized.
Since they are 7x15s, if real they should have part number 911.361.020.41 along with the alloy designation AS10.62. If they are fake they will probably only say 15x7. If they say AEW, they are for sure fakes, made by American Eagle. Fake wheels on eBay usually don't attract any bids. You might get better response from the VW guys on www.thesamba.com Last edited by dvkk; 03-08-2004 at 09:19 PM.. |
