What's a reasonable price for 15x6 Fuchs?

I'm going to hunt for a pair of 15x6 Fuchs for my front track wheels. What's a reasonable price to pay, assuming they're not too beautiful for track use? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

150 each seems standard for the 911 part #.

Jim, I've got nine, but they are all in use

I just bought a 72T that I will need to do a little work on, as opposed to a lot....I might like to ask you some detail questions about your car since it was fairly original and the same color.

Since the E is heading toward lightweight junkie status, I was thinking of putting the T back to fully optioned out stock form, well except for the 2.7

I should think you could do better than 150 each if you don't mind getting your fingers a little messy. You just want em straight. Even if they have a little rash you can do just like the Fuch's fixers and put em on a lathe and skim cut the lip to remove the rash then polish or what ever. You just need a hookup with a lathe

There is a set of 4 for $300 on the parts thread now. I don't see how you could beat that.

Hopefully you found what you were looking for Jim. I sold off a set of 15x6s that were rough but straight about 9 months ago...$400.

Thanks for the info, Josh. This is the story of my life...when opportunity knocks, I shout "Hey, quit making so much racket!"

Sorry Jim, there were no responses when I posted. I almost bought them myself as spares. A fellow could always get their money back on a good deal. Even so, there are often very nice 15x6s for about $150 or so both here and on ebay if you are patient. Have yopui thought about cookie cutters?....They are often cheap and would be fine for the track. Good luck.

I picked up a pair of 15x6's locally for $100 each for track wheel quality. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of independent P-car shops have these sitting around gathering dust. That's where I found this pair.

I am getting a pair of 15x7's from a fellow Pelican, and all I'll need is a 15x6 Fuch spare to finish up.
