Can I get more Pics of these 2 type of Fuchs



I believe the aboves are Fuch Dual Anodized




I believe the above are Fuch Rough Clear


I tried a search and it come up with differnet things but no real topics on teh two styles...

Have some 7 & 8 x 15 and I 'm leaning towards the Rough clear style, just wondering how these would look on a Silver 911

You wonder how they would look on a silver 911?

Are you serious? They would look almost as good as they would look on a black 911.

I think your labels might be reversed - if you look closely at the second picture you can see a line around the paddle where the anodizing changes from rough to clear - I don't think it's present on the first pic. Either way, they'd look great. JPahemi has a set of the dual anodized on his black coupe - he's my inspiration for sending them to Al this winter (as soon as I mount my snow tires).

Yes I am black cars tend to make rims look differnet then lets say a silver car, as stupid as that may sound I have noticed it on a couple of black 911's here. What may look plain on other colored cars, black seems to bring out the rim out more...
well for me it does

You might call Harvey Wiedmann - but he has no web site. Also try on Early 911s bbs for pics.

I had them made.

Here's my (only similar) wheels on a silver car. They have a rough matte finished AL with black paint to accentuate the petals.

Yes they do, but I think they would look better as the same color of the wheels ...those rims look great but for my taste id prefer matching lug nuts the same color

Gary - you're right - I was referring to the difference in anodizing between the paddles and the insets. I guess they're both dual, just one has matching anodizing on the lip and paddle.

dvkk - I think those are 951 16x8's - they have a recessed lug seat which gives that appearance.
