Help me decipher this fuchs part #

[Carl Bauer]

I read either 911.361.020.77 or 911.361.020.44 with the "44" being stamped upside down. Has anyone ever seen the stamped digits upside down?

911.361.020.44 is a 16X7 fuchs wheel but this wheel isn't a 16X7. I can't find anything on the 911.361.020.77 number. Does anyone know of a fuchs with a "77" suffex?

I've spent some time on Sherwood's 911 wheel weights page and haven't found a match. Can someone also take a look at the offset and backspace numbers? If I'm reading it right it's a 23mm offset and a backspace of 139mm?

what is the size stamped on the wheel?

Seller says it's a 16X9 but it looks like this:



Which does not look like a 16X9; more like a 15X9 except those numbers don't match either. Are there other 15X9 numbers other than 911.361.020.03 & 911.361.020.06 listed on Sherwood's page?

Could it be a 9x16 that was made up from a 7x16 center welded to an aftermarket barrel? That outer barrel profile does not look like a Fuchs 9x16-- the last step down to the center looks too vertical. Here's a pic of a real 9x16:


The outer barrel angles down to the center, it doesn't drop perpendicularly, like the pic you posted.

The -44 number may be correct but just upside down, if it was fabricated from a 7x16 (late) center. ET should be 15 for a real 9x16 and not 23 (which is the offset for a 7J x16.)


I don't know of any 15" Fuchs ending in a -44, or any Fuchs at all ending in -77. I do believe the numbers could be stamped upside down, though, and those look like upside-down 4s and not 7s to me.

I just saw this pic of some 8 & 9x15" Fuchs in the for sale forum, and they appear to have the same vertical step to the outer barrel as your picture. It seems possible the owner measured them incorrectly and they are 15s and not 16s, but then they should have a 9J x 15 stamp inside.
