Experience with Ordering Fuchs from Wheelenhancement.com?
 

Hi,

I'm thinking of ordering refinished 7" and 9" Fuchs from wheelenhancement.com.

Seems like an OK deal at $775 per 9" and $205 for exchanged 7" with $100 rebate on my 6" wheels.


Any experiences, good or bad?

Do a search... LOT's of opinions out there. Personally, everytime I've ever called them they have been rude and generally not very helpfull. I would never buy from them... I would look for a used set and send it off to Al Reed...

What?

I just ordered two BRAND NEW 9" fuchs from them at $675 a piece. I think they have at least 20 of them left. They seem like they need another coating of clearcoat, but that's not that big of a deal. Ask about those before you order a pre-owned. Not sure about the prices on the 7". Also, if your wheels are even a bit "unstrait", you won't get your credit. I'd keep the 6's in the event you go to sell your car. Then you can sell the 9's for a pretty penny later on, without dropping the price of the car.

Same as Geof33. I will not use them again. I think they get off by talking down to you. I would look for used ones as well. The price will be very close if you can find 9's(and they will be used). I have been looking for a set of track wheels so I can attest there are not tons available. The other place I am looking at is Lindsay Racing.http://www.lindseyracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=LR&Category_Co de=GENWHEELS Very good Prices and willing to talk and help you. I am considering the FM-10 not Fuchs but very reasonable – Tim

I bought new 9s from them a couple months ago. I'd buy new 9s instead of refinished. The finish they put on their refinished fuchs doesn't exactly match the factory finish but I'd take a new wheel over used for the same price any day. The guy that answered my e-mail questions was great to deal with. I ordered by phone and the guy that answered the phone was kind of rude but they are the only game in town for new fuchs as far as I know.
As far as the clear coat comment above. I don't think there is any clear coat on the new wheels. You can see the forging marks thru the anodizing though. Once they are on the car, you don't notice it.

IMO, I would wait and sniff round ebay and here for a while.

I just got a set of 7 and 9's, factory original, small curb scrape on a 9, good bridgestones (75% at least) center caps for $1300.

It took me a month of cruising like a hawk, and a 3 hour drive to get them, but it was fun as hell. Next best price I found was $2200 for factory finish, new yoko es100's.

I have to agree, wheel enhancement does not seem to know their stuff. I'm still looking for track wheels for my 964, but they were selling a set of BBSs that I was interested in for 993s, and they get really upset when I said I didn't want to buy their $400 spacers because I knew for a fact that we'd made a wheel almost the exact size fit on a 964 without mods and that I'd rather just see how little I'd need to get this wheel to fit.

I ordered a set of their new 9s a few months ago. Granted, the phone sales rep wasn't super friendly, but the parts came on time and were top quality and the price seemed reasonable.

I don't like dealing with grumpy sales folks either, but they got the job done at the right price.
