Finally got my Weidman Fuchs on!
 
Its been a few weeks, but I finally got time to take a few pics. They are original deep 6's and "Harvey-Built" 7R's mounted on 225/50 on the rear and 205/55 on the front. The wheels are gorgeous and Im not sure the magnesium Americans will ever go back on :) Thanks Harvey!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1155509117.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1155509140.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1155509166.jpg

Beautiful.

Those look great Dave. Can you tell if the car handles different with the new tires and rubber?

Oh man those are stunning. Congratulations. I am particularly impressed by how the 205/55s look on the front - I just bought a set of 4 but have been concerned that they'd look too skinny. They definitely don't.

My 15J6 Fuchs went to Harvey last week, he said 12-16 week wait :eek:

How long did yours take?

JCF 08-13-2006 03:35 PM

Mine must have been worked on same time as yours. Now with Vredestein's . Must take some pics.

Wow, that sure looks great, Dave. Are those ES100s on there? Did you get the original anodized finish?

What are Harvey-built 7Rs?

Britt, Harvey takes a 6" wheel plus a doner wheel and makes a replica 7R. These wheels had the extra with inboard so the fit a narrow body.

damn corn,

looks phenomenal!!!

I wish Harvey would contact me after 5 messages
left on his answering machine!
I want a set too!

Thanks guys!
That is the original finish. They took about 16 weeks to get done, but well worth the wait for sure!
Hal, the car handles great. I love the difference in acceleration with the shorter tires combined with the short gears in my box. Makes it feel like a much larger engine =)

Harvey is wonderful!

They look excellent!

Looks great!

Does Harvey have a website? Does anyone know if he makes other Fuch wheels besides the 7Rs? How would I get in contact with him?

Thanks.
