Fuchs numbers questions
Hello: Looking at a set of 16" 7's and 9's from a turbo but the number on the 9 seems odd:
961 362 115 ASI 062 Is this a correct number for a Fuchs 9x16 wheel ? Thank you.

The AS o62 appears often and is likely the alloy of the wheel.....the person "reading" the number is mixing up these two "lines" on the wheel.
Look again...and sort Wil EDIT. See link as an example ---> Fuchs - set of 6x16 & 7x16

Thanks Wil:
I cannot see the numbers; they are sent to me by E-mail. Something is screwy here because the latest is that the 9's have numbers that have been stamped over. The claim is still that they are J9's but the cast numbers 951 362 115 have been stamped over to make them 911 362 119. The first number would make them 7's but the doctored , stamped number is supposed to make them 9's. Hmmmm! I have asked for a clear picture of the spokes showing the screwy numbers and the 16 X J9. We'll see.

Maybe they were originally 7's that have been widened to 9's by welding in a 2" band.

 ). Anyway, widening would be obvious. This is all weird. Someone is reading numbers and telling the other they have been stamped over. I think I'd pass on this one.

I agree that these have been "made" into 9's.
Received a close-up of the numbers and it shows that they were 7's originally. There are many Fuchs wheels out there that have been widened; but that has to made clear to a potential buyer.
