Another Fuchs question
I have been trying to find two 16X8 Fuchs rims. Today a guy contacted me and said he has two Fuchs cast aluminum wheels made in Italy. He said they were new. I am assuming they are replicas but he says they are not. He says he purchased them new about a year ago from a company on line. He wants $450 each. What to you all think?

They are aftermarket "Replica" wheels.
No such OEM "Fuchs" were ever manufactured in Italy. The part # on the factory 16x8 wheel is: 911.361.020.45 Good Luck, Jason |

Ditto what Jason said, plus you can buy a set of 4 of those replicas for something like $800.
They also don't look like the real thing at all.

BTW -- Fuchs are forged not cast! Makes a big difference.
