still for sale and since the new tires the center cap does point to the air stem just for you annal owners.

YOu know your Fuchs need a dose of Al Reed when your too embarased to post a pic.


Shame on me.

Derek-

Yes, I repainted the centers -- 3 coats of self etching primer, 3 coats of
Dupicolor semigloss black. I did not touch the caps.

Yes, 7's and 9's but no spacers. Tires are 245/45 and 205/55 -16.

Ask and you shall receive - more silver centres coming right up:

I really love them, I wonder what they would look like on my car.
Who did them for you?
Derek

How do you tape off the paddle areas so that you can powdercoat them?

-Britain

Derek:
Wheel Enhancement/Rob Wood did them in 2000, when the look first surfaced.
j.p.

Black metallic :)

Guys...I have the exact same rims on my car as JP...but you cant really see them in the photo on page 2. I love em. Wheel Enhancement can do those...cost is about $750 for 7s and 9s

How about white. Really hides the brake dust!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1109741110.jpg

These will be gone in a week or so. :( (:D )

Are you selling the car Moses?

No, he`s buying new wheels.

Jack,

I have looked at your various photos and see so many different wheels on the car I am wondering what these wheels are. The fronts look like a custom 17x8..Is that right? Rears?

Don

My SC-flared 1973 had 8x10x17 wheels. The wider 1972 car has 9.5x11x17's. The fronts aren't as deep because the front suspension was modified to bring the hubs out further, to make the handling better.

You can see the 9.5's in the front of this picture, with the 11's in the back.

Nope. But I can't fit my big nasty red brakes under the Fuchs. I know I will miss the polished Fuchs. They are beautiful.

Anybody looking for a perfect set of Al Reed specials? (6&7X16)

How much?

Also, how does one tape off the paddle areas so that you can powdercoat them?

Not quite used to seeing 17" on an early car; but I must say, Joe's look outstanding.
J.P.

My 6" & 7" fuchs look good in pictures but they need to be polished (and bigger) in real life.

frosty anodized 15x7s from Al Reed. Not quite as powdery white as a rough anodized RSR wheel, but very nice. Money well spent :cool:
